CASE STUDY

A

DRILLING

The PROOF is in the NUMBERS

Project Profile: Tooling Solution:

Grey Cast Iron Hydraulic Transmission Component

ALVAN® Reamer - Monobloc Style

Tool Life: Competitor Boring (number of parts = 75)

B

The Problem: Previously, the customer was using a competitor boring tool running at the following parameters: • 3802 RPM • 152 m/min (500 SFM) • 0.076 mm/rev (0.003 IPR) • 290 mm/min (11.41 IPM) With 2 passes, the tool made a 12.758 mm (0.5023") diameter hole to a 30.48 mm (1.20") depth. • Cycle time = 12.6 seconds • Tool life = 75 parts Seeking to streamline the production process, the customer needed to increase tool life and lower the cost of production. The Solution: Allied Machine recommended the ALVAN® monobloc style reamer. • Reamer = 92440 series carbide, uncoated, V lead The tool ran at the following parameters: • 2200 RPM • 88 m/min (289 SFM) • 0.48 mm/rev (0.019 IPR) • 1061 mm/min (41.80 IPM) The tool achieved the desired diameter and depth, and the results achieved the customer’s goals. • Cycle time = 1.7 seconds • Tool life = 3,176 parts
