Processing examples of A7075 on NC lathes and 5-axis machining centers. Manufactured for the automotive, motorcycle, and transportation equipment industries. Achieving short delivery times and low prices with spherical R shapes.
<Case Information>
Within three weeks, a spherical R-shaped component for automotive advanced development was needed. Although it was expected to take about four weeks for the usual delivery of shaped processed products, it was completed in two weeks.
Due to the undercut of the spherical R-shaped part (the backside viewed from the top, which is the shaded area), it could not be processed with commercially available tools. However, we designed and manufactured a complex tool in-house to process the relevant part, achieving a short delivery time.
*Even if the tool were available, the program would become complicated, including interference checks, and advanced cutting techniques would be required, considering the escape path for the cutting tool and the discharge of cutting chips.
