“Our service life is too short.”

When you learn from others, you don’t have to find solutions to challenges that others have already solved in their production under very similar conditions. In this case, the challenge was to optimize the manufacturing process for a titanium component used in medical technology.

The challenge: stable production of large quantities

The turning shop manufactures tens of thousands of parts per year. Series production must run stably and reliably around the clock, day and night. This means that precise face turning and parting off are required. Long, tangled chips are not permitted. The goal is excellent chip control. In addition, the entire turning contour should be produced with a single tool. The economic aspect was also under discussion: the service life of the tool should be increased.

A Bimu indexable insert that impresses in use

As is often the case, using the right tools brings about the desired optimization leap. The manufacturer was recommended Bimu’s 560RY1.5 -r0.05 – BI120 indexable insert in combination with high-pressure cooling for titanium machining. This optimized chip breaking and achieved effective chip removal. The tool achieves a service life of 2000 pieces, which represents an increase for the manufacturer.

The chip breaker from Bimu’s 500 series was therefore able to increase the service life of the tool and guarantee consistent performance, as desired by the manufacturer.
