CV Joint
Constant velocity (CV) joints allow drive shafts to transmit power at variable angles and constant rotational speeds. The joints are often made from medium carbon steel, posing chip control issues when machined in fully automated operations. Hard machining operations are also necessary after components have been heat treated.

1 - Roughing the outer diameter
| Your Challenge: | | Maintaining efficiency through effective chipbreaking when roughing the outer diameter. |
| Our Solution: | | Jetstream Tooling delivers a high-pressure jet of coolant to the optimum position close to the cutting edge. In addition to eliminating heat build up, this lifts the chip away from the rake face to increase chip control and maximize tool life. Cutting parameters can also be further increased by using ISO/ANSI Duratomic® inserts. Your benefits include increased process reliability and productivity |
