Automotive – Shaft
Automotive shaft parts come in various shapes, and their production processes require different milling, turning, grooving, and drilling operations.
Depending on the size of the shaft as well as the heat treatment on gear and spline parts, the necessary machining performance on the cutting tools vary greatly.
General Challenges
- Machining productively while minimizing tooling costs
- Applying the latest machining technology for external and face-turning operations on shafts
- Maximizing the performance of the machine to its full capability and minimizing its down time
Key Points
-
Optimizing the productivity of grooving operations in machining shafts
- TetraMini-Cut TCS18-type inserts with 3D chipbreaker for smooth chip flow, combined with AH7025 grade that increases the tool life and machining stability, are ideal for finishing grooving operations on shafts.
- TetraForce-Cut TCM27-type inserts with strong cutting edges and excellent chipping resistance improve machining efficiency for grooving operations on shafts.
-
Stable and productive hard turning operations with the reduction of grinding processes in machining shafts
- BXA20 series in combination with WavyJoint technology are ideal for finishing operations under heavy interrupted conditions, achieving highly stable machining with drastically reduced grinding processes for machining shafts.
