[Case Study] Cost reduction by switching from cylindrical grinding to centerless grinding.
Select the appropriate grinding method according to the production volume! Easily achieve VA/VE for parts.
We will introduce a case that achieved cost reduction by switching from cylindrical grinding to centerless grinding. For products with a ring shape and a small production lot size, we process them on cylindrical grinding machines, which have relatively short setup times, to avoid cost increases due to setup changes. However, there are products that lack sufficient grinding power due to factors such as the size of the grinding wheel on cylindrical grinding machines, which can ultimately lead to increased costs. As the quantity of the parts to be processed increases, it becomes necessary to consider alternative grinding methods. [Before Improvement] ■ There are products on cylindrical grinding machines that lack sufficient grinding power due to factors such as the size of the grinding wheel. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
