By using digital technology and optimized indexable inserts, Schmauser Müller Metalltechnik has increased process reliability and efficiency in fine boring, as well as increased the lifetime of its tools by a factor of three.
Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.
When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.
The Mini Indexable Boring Bar helps meet the increasing demand for successfully boring small parts in industries like medical and aerospace, such as machined medical implant devices and micro-sized components.
With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.
Even the most well-planned boring process may not achieve the desired result. We’ve provided solutions to common rough boring problems to help get you back on the road to productivity.
