[VA/VE Case] Cost Reduction by Upsizing Tools

By reselecting the tools, it will ultimately be possible to reduce costs and shorten delivery times!

Here is an example of achieving cost reduction through the size increase of tools. Since the width of the area to be machined with the end mill is a minimum of 5.742mm, end mills larger than Φ6 cannot be used. By changing the corner radius size from R1 to R2, the minimum width dimension expands to 6.086mm, allowing for machining with a Φ6 end mill, which leads to a reduction in processing time. [Case Summary] ■Issue: The width of the area to be machined with the end mill is a minimum of 5.742mm, so end mills larger than Φ6 cannot be used. ■Result: By changing the corner radius size from R1 to R2, the minimum width dimension expands to 6.086mm, allowing for machining with a Φ6 end mill, which leads to a reduction in processing time. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.
