Achieving Consistency
Application
4mm hole for high volume automotive application
Material
Aluminum
Tool
Standard HSS Series with a specially designed blade for this particular application, running at 1200 RPM and .08mm / rev feedrate.
The Challenge
To improve the robustness and blade consistency for a major automotive manufacturer’s deburring process. This is a high volume application where tool life and repeatability are critical.
The Solution
We tried 6 difference special blade designs, with differing thickness and stiffness along with other modifications such as a flat to give the customer the desired results.
The Results
This tool achieved the deburring quality, consistency and repeatability across 14,000 pieces. This allows the customer to change the blade at the beginning and end of the 3 shifts so that no time is lost during each 14.000 piece run on one single blade!
