Case study of cost reduction in metal processing due to changes in the shape of L-shaped corners.

Achieving cost reduction of components by designing with a balanced consideration of engineering numbers!

In the case of a mechanical part drawing with an L-shaped block configuration, where R0.2 and corner R are small and precision requirements for right angles are necessary, it cannot be finished solely with a general-purpose shoulder cutter due to the circumstances of the cutting process. This design leads to an increase in the number of processes and higher costs for the parts. As a cost-reduction strategy through design changes, incorporating a relief shape at the corners allows for machining with a general-purpose nose R chip. Additionally, in grinding processes, the R of the grinding wheel can be relieved to improve machining accuracy. Mechanical part designers can achieve cost reduction by considering a balanced design that takes into account strength design and the number of cutting processes. 【Case Study】 ■ Content: Cost reduction in metal processing through shape modification of L-shaped corners ■ Issue: Part design leading to increased processes and higher costs ■ Proposal: Incorporate a relief shape at the corners ■ Applications: Cost reduction, cutting processing, machining, lathe work, precision processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
