[VA/VE Case] NC Lathe Processing Time Reduction through Balance Cutting

Simultaneous rough and finish machining can be performed in one go, significantly reducing processing time!

Here is a case study on reducing processing time through balance cutting in NC lathe machining. The material is SUM23, with a material diameter of φ30, and the distance from the protrusion to the base is 102mm, while the neck diameter is φ23. In this product, the protrusion is SRφ4.5, and when taper machining is done with a comb blade, the longer the protrusion, the more the number of cuts increases, leading to longer processing times. By synchronizing the comb blade and turret of the NC compound automatic lathe to perform balance cutting, rough and finish machining were done simultaneously. This allowed for larger cutting amounts in a single pass, reducing processing time to less than half of that of conventional cutting. [Case Summary] ■Challenge When the protrusion is SRφ4.5 and taper machining is done with a comb blade, longer protrusion leads to an increase in the number of cuts, resulting in longer processing times. ■Result By synchronizing the comb blade and turret of the NC compound automatic lathe to perform balance cutting, the process was shortened, and larger cutting amounts could be achieved in a single pass, reducing processing time to less than half of that of conventional cutting. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.
