Case study of cost reduction in metal processing due to changes to the R shape of the inner corner of the end face.

Change the inner corner to a shape of R10 or less! Process the R in the same way as the through hole to reduce one step!

This is a machine part with a plate shape that includes a through hole and has an inner corner on the end face. The key design point of this machine part is the presence of the inner corner on the end face. The inner corner is difficult to process with an end mill, requiring an additional processing step, which increases labor hours and contributes to cost increases. If there are no mechanical issues, the processing labor can be reduced by changing the inner corner to a shape with a radius of 10 or less. Specifically, by processing the radius in the same step as the through hole, one step can be eliminated. This allows for a reduction in the cost of the machine part.
