Case study of cost reduction in metal processing through standardization of drill hole diameter and counterbore diameter.

The number of tool changes is reduced, leading to cost savings through shorter processing times!

There are machine parts that come in a set of two, and the bolts used are standard and the same size. However, the diameters of the drill holes and counterbores for the two parts vary. In cases like this, multiple cutting tools are required to match the diameters of the drill holes and counterbores. This leads to increased costs for the machine parts due to the increase in man-hours. If the bolts used for the parts are the same size and there are no mechanical issues, it is possible to standardize the dimensions of the drill holes and counterbores, allowing for the common use of cutting tools. This will also reduce the number of tool changes, resulting in cost reductions due to shorter processing times. 【Case Study】 ■Content: Cost reduction in metal processing through standardization of drill hole and counterbore diameters ■Issue: Increased costs for machine parts due to increased man-hours ■Proposal: Standardize the dimensions of the drill holes and counterbores to allow for common cutting tools ■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.
