Challenges
- Rapid insert wear: Interrupted turning operations resulted in accelerated tool wear.
- Low machining efficiency: When machining long, slender components, a large depth of cut generated excessive cutting forces and tool deflection, while a small depth of cut led to reduced productivity.
- Complex process flow: Secondary tempering was required, which increases process complexity and cycle time.
Solution
By adopting hard turning technology with dry cutting and heavy-load cutting, we eliminated the tempering process, which significantly improves the overall production efficiency.
Results
- Tool life: Increased by 50%, successfully replacing the original machining solution.
- Production efficiency: Increased by 100% by eliminating the tempering process.
- Machining cost: Reduced by 50% per part.
- Customer feedback: “The new machining solution has significantly improved our production capacity, with remarkable improvements in both precision and efficiency.”
