Line production leaves no room for a tool that behaves differently in the second shift than it did in the first. Tooling is selected for predictable wear and indexed change intervals, not for a headline cutting speed.
High-volume machining where cost per component is decided in seconds.
- Typical workpiece materials
- EN-GJL-250GJV-450AlSi9Cu316MnCr542CrMo4
