Case Studies
Okuma—A comprehensive CNC machine tool manufacturer.
Pursuing precision multitasking machining for the aerospace industry
- Industry
- Aviation parts manufacturing, aerospace parts manufacturing
HIROKO Jet Technology Co., Ltd.
The situation when interviewed
Responsible for handling jet engine outsourced from parts Rolls-Royce.
The material is a hard-to-cut titanium alloy and Inconel, with varying taper thickness, requiring 1-micron accuracy for large components.
-
- Issues
-
Reducing lead time for manufacturing large parts
- We want to shorten lead time by making both large-scale parts setup and precision machining compatible.
- Basic performance issues such as rigidity and thermal stability are essential conditions.
- Precise measurement will be performed inside the machine, so good accessibility is also important.
-
- Implementation
-
Installed a VTR-350A double-column multitasking machine, a VTM-1200YB 5-axis vertical multitasking machine, and an MCR-BⅢ machining double-column machining center (5-face applications)
-
- Effectiveness
-
Achieving shorter lead times with a 5-axis machine that demonstrates stable accuracies (5-face applications)
- VTM-2000YB not only provides process-intensive machining, but also has good accessibility and easy in-machine measurement.
- Stable accuracy and productivity are maintained even with all-stainless steel parts by 5-sided machining with the universal head of the MCR-BⅢ.
