We are well-versed as a solutions provider of Contract Manufactured Assemblies & Engineering services. Each of these solutions are strategically aligned to each other to provide enduring value for all our Customers around the globe.

Challenge:

Inspecting a component on machine with OLP40 is a straight application but when it is on CNC lathe and the component is small the complexity increases. Every component requires inspection on CMM, since almost every company does not hold a CMM for one component the queue up time has increased due to which the production comes at halt at times affecting the machining OEE. Non-productive work of queue up time and component movement has resulted in not able to meet the production demands.

Solution:

OLP40 is a versatile multifunctional optical work probe that does not only work setting but also inspection on the component after machining. With help of a 2mm ruby styli, 11 parameters are inspected including both outer and inner diameter.

Result:

The CMM dependability has reduced by 90% and other non-productive activities for the component has resulted in increasing the OEE by 18%.

Achieving visual finish at overhang of 240mm and to reduce cycle time

The Company:

Allison Transmission is an American manufacturer of automatic transmissions for commercial and military vehicles. The company is known for its pioneering work in the field of automatic transmissions, particularly in the medium and heavy-duty vehicle markets. Their transmissions are used in a wide range of vehicles, including buses, trucks, emergency vehicles.

Challenge:

Sieving visual finish at overhang of 240mm and to reduce cycle . There are 4 variants and each have different program that needs to be selected manually, One wrong input of program can impact the total supply chain right from cost, OEE, rejection, scrap, rework and more. In simpler terms this will affect the entire supply chain.

Solution:

DO Force Tri is used to achieve visual finish at long overhang because the cutting edge is configured with a large curve with an optimal inclination which generate low cutting force in light depth of cut. Every cutting edge is built with a wiper and innovative flank design. Optimized cutting edge ensures smooth entry and good surface finish.

Result:

Reduced cycle time from 13mins to 6.1mins and improved tool life from 450mins to 500mins.
