Introduction of case studies on cost reduction for spiral reamer tool modifications.
Consolidation of Spiral Reamer Processes into 3 Steps! A Case of Successfully Reducing Work Time by One-Third and Minimizing Waste Generation.
We would like to introduce a case where our company successfully consolidated the spiral reamer process into three steps, reducing work time to one-third and preventing the occurrence of defective products. To complete a single hole, three drills were required, necessitating three processes. Additionally, there was a limitation on the number of tools that could be mounted on the machining machine, leading to a desire for as much process consolidation as possible. In response to this challenge, our company modified the spiral reamer by reducing its outer diameter and creating a two-stage design with a 45° angle on the cutting edge, allowing for chamfering as well. As a result, we successfully consolidated three processes into one. Furthermore, the coaxiality improved, and we also succeeded in preventing the occurrence of defective products. [Challenges Before Modification] - Completing a single hole required three drills, necessitating three processes. - There was a limitation on the number of tools that could be mounted on the machining machine, leading to a desire for as much process consolidation as possible. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.*
