I am currently quoting a rather large project, several hundred part numbers, most of which have ID grooves ranging fron under an inch in diameter to over 10 inches. Groove widths from approximately 0.05 inches to 0.500. I am attempting to find the best type of gaging for the grooves. I would...
Rhodie,
I don't think it is a thing to say. It is certainly something I hadn't thought of. I will have to do a little studying to see if it is feasible to check the tool. It may be difficult as the cutting tool is either a carbide tap, or forming tap, (haven't decided yet) and not a lot of...
Rhodie,
No, I don't think it is a stupid thing. It's something I hadn't thought of. I will have to give it some though to see if it is feasible to inspect the tool. It may be diificult, as the cutting tool is either a carbide tap, or forming tap (haven't decided yet).
Thanks for your input. I...
Unfortunately, the assembly design will not allow this thread to be external. Even if it could , it would only transfer the quality requirements of the internal threads to another component. I am still not sure how to accomplish this task without additional direct labor input, (a potential deal...
I have recently quoted a high production job for the automotive industry. One of the part features is an internal M10 x 1.5 thread that requires 100% inspection of Major, minor, and pitch diameters, as well as lead error. The gage must also be capable of outputting the dimensions electronically...
30 pieces per hour for the sizes you indicated would be a walk in the park for spline rolling. Superior finish, increased surface hardness and increased productivity are all reasons my first choice would be spline rolling.
What issues, if any have you had with Gildemeister turning centers, as far as reliability, after sale service, difficulty in programming etc.? We are considering the purchase of a Gildemeister Twin 32.
