3. Turning
Case four: Spindle
The spindle production involves mainly internal processing and the
existing process included two operations – turning from both sides.
The customer experienced two issues: vibration and a need for a
simplied process. By implementing a Silent Tools boring bar of
5.3xBD, the turning could be performed from one side, saving time
for the customer.
