By taking the whole process under consideration and reducing the number of setups and tools, the lead time for this component was considerably shortened. The cutting data were optimised to give an economical tool life based on suitable insert- changing cycles.
The cutters used in the application were:
 | CoroMill 390 long edge for shoulder
milling. Together with the Coromant
Capto tool holding system the new
CoroMill 390 long edge cutter builds the
shortest and most stable setup, which
contributed to high metal- removal rates. |
 | CoroMill 331 for slot milling. |
 | CoroMill 390 for pocket milling. |
 | CoroMill 245 for facemilling. |
