Axle Shaft
Typically made from carbon steel, axle shafts involve multiple turning and grooving operations. Chip control must be maintained during machining operations within fully automated production lines.
YOUR MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES
- Maintaining effective chipbreaking while copy turning the flange diameter, chamfers and back face.
- Ensuring high productivity during turning of the outer diameter and face.
- Optimising productivity while turning the undercut groove.
- Minimising cycle times while reliably turning the circlip grooves.
- Drilling numerous holes with low cycle times, high quality and reliability.
1 - Effective chipbreaking
| Your Challenge: | | Maintaining effective chipbreaking while copy turning the flange diameter, chamfers and back face. |
| Our Solution: | | With a top clamp and serrated contact surfaces between the insert and toolholder, Secoloc insert clamping provides the MDT system with superb stability, which is then further enhanced through the use of long inserts. The Seco-Capto interface adds tremendous flexibility, and the ability to move to full automation by adding electronic data chips to the toolholders. MDT coated carbide inserts optimize chip removal rates in this application. Your benefits include robust performance, high process security and shorter cycle times. |
