Evaluation of five-axis lathe for producing squib valve housings. Final report
The process of machining squib valve housings is often a complex process involving many different operations on various machines. This process has a long flowtime, and a considerable number of production hours are invested in the finished product. New technology combining traditional turning centers with driven tools, such as milling cutters, has the potential to reduce machining time as well as flowtime. A five-axis computer numerical controlled (CNC) turning machine, with driven tools, was evaluated and determined to reduce both machining hours and flowtime on suitable valve housings.
