Production of special fasteners for on-board navigation and safety systems

The production of the fasteners was contracted to an outsourcer. Since the quality was poor and the deliveries, unsteady, the customer decided to start its own production. Additionally, the customer aimed at increasing the production volumes to bring down the cost.

Project features

This technological solution is based on using Greenway long-turning automatic lathes. The machining was done with both cutting and threading tools working at a tremendous speed (M7 thread along the length of 17 mm for 2.5 seconds) while complying with the highest accuracy and roughness standards. A special angular head wad designed and made to mill recesses of various shapes and dimensions.
