Revolutionise your process. The customer is manufacturing valve bodies for the general machining industry using a Femco horizontal machining center with semi-synthetic through-tool coolant. The parts are made from A36 steel. Previously, the customer was achieving a cycle time of 5 minutes and 13 seconds. The customer needs to decrease cycle time and improve performance overall.

The Revolution Drill met the customer’s request and successfully reduced costly machining time.
