Case study of cost reduction in metal processing due to changes in reference surfaces.
By changing the reference plane, we can reduce the machining process and achieve cost reduction!
There is a mechanical part with pinholes on the front and side, and the bottom surface A serves as the reference plane. Since reference plane A is indicated on the drawing as having no machining (as is), it cannot achieve the required precision in this state. To achieve the tolerances specified in the drawing, it is necessary to perform machining on surface A to a semi-finish level, which increases unnecessary processes and extends machining time. Therefore, mechanical parts with such drawing indications become costly. If possible, the reference should be set to the front pinhole, and only the precision between the pinholes should be established. This would eliminate the need for semi-finishing the bottom surface and reduce the machining processes. Additionally, if the front and side are machined simultaneously using a horizontal machining center, it is also possible to achieve the required precision. 【Case Study】 ■Content: Cost reduction in metal processing by changing the reference surface ■Issue: Increased unnecessary processes and longer machining time lead to higher costs for mechanical parts ■Proposal: Set the reference to the front pinhole and establish precision only between the pinholes ■Application: Cost reduction, cutting processing, machining, lathe work, precision processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
