Process problem
Separate tools made concentricity and repeatability harder to control
Several internal surfaces with different diameters and axial positions had to be machined in a steel housing. The previous process relied on multiple tools and stages, increasing tool changes and making relationships between the machined surfaces harder to maintain.
BORACO solution
Three operation families consolidated in one custom tool
BORACO designed and manufactured the tool for multi-diameter or stepped boring, internal facing, and chamfering or form turning. Operation sequence, edge access, body rigidity, cutting-load distribution, and insert-seat positions were engineered as one system.
Manufacture and inspection
Relevant characteristics controlled without exposing confidential values
Inspection covered stepped diameters, axial cutting-edge positions and lengths, concentricity and runout, and insert-seat position and quality. Numerical values, tolerances, machine model, interface, and customer information are not disclosed.
Project outcome
Fewer tool changes with better support for concentricity
Consolidating the operations reduced tool changes and intermediate positioning while supporting concentricity and repeatability between the machined surfaces. This qualitative result applies only to this project and is not a performance guarantee.
