For the production of precision parts, toolcraft covers the complete process chain – from construction through manufacturing to quality control and nondestructive surface testing. The company's state-of-the-art machine pool ensures high-quality production. Since 2012, CNC turn/mill machines in Georgensgmünd have been used to manufacture even complex parts. Now, toolcraft is increasing its capacities with additional Mazak and Hermle machines.
Multiaxis technology and angle heads are used to create precision parts for a range of industries, above all for the aerospace and semiconductor sectors. Virtually all materials can be processed thanks to systems such as the Mazak turn/mill machine. The INTEGREX i-200ST is a multifunction, versatile machine. It can hold more tools, increasing its performance over comparable systems. The machine combines modern technology with environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. This is why toolcraft has invested in a second, identical turn/mill machine.
To meet customer requirements more effectively, the company also purchased a Mazak INTEGREX j-200S. The multi-function machine has 36 toolholders and a milling spindle with high torque. A Hermle C42 U MT was also added to the pool of machinery. This 5-axis turn/mill machine is used for complex, thin-walled housing components in the aviation sector. The paths of movements are optimally adjusted to the size of the workpiece. With more than 130 toolholders, it meets high-precision requirements as well as demands for tight tolerances.
The new turn/mill machines can produce even the most complex parts. As parts are completely processed on just one machine, setup times are reduced to a minimum, another step towards series production. The fully integrated process saves time and money, thus not only boosting productivity, but also accelerating processing times. Following production, the parts are checked visually and tactilely and then qualified to NADCAP using nondestructive surface testing. This allows toolcraft to create high-quality precision parts.
Related Glossary Terms
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- quality assurance ( quality control)
quality assurance ( quality control)
Terms denoting a formal program for monitoring product quality. The denotations are the same, but QC typically connotes a more traditional postmachining inspection system, while QA implies a more comprehensive approach, with emphasis on “total quality,” broad quality principles, statistical process control and other statistical methods.
