Virtual Gibbs, imported a .sldprt file with print support for tolerances. Used CNC Haas Mill with quantity of 10 pieces. Run time aprox. 19 minutes.

A carbide form tool was ordered for the CB, teflon moves its dimensions depending on the temperature, new sharp tools were ordered, the inside bores were held to +- .005 diameter and depth. CAD/CAM was programmed, CNC Mill was used to finish.

CAD/CAM to program the part, several fixtures were made to hold the part, steel pem like inserts pressed in. Made in quantities of 5 and 10.

Used CNC Mill. Head was cast in a plaster holding fixture and then strap clamped down. The hard part was making the top part of the head fit onto the x-ray target. Part was done in two days.

Programmed from a print, CAD/CAM then sent to the VF-3 for machining, quantity of 2 pieces. Holding the part was the biggest challenge.

HL/ CNC Mill with CAD/CAM support, Manual Mill top 1/4 npt and side holes drilled at an angle without breaking through. 6-32 threads through the top. Tumbled finish.

Print was used for tolerances, a .igs solids file was e-mailed over and all locations were grabbed off the solid model file. Dimensions as close as +-.0005 were held on some side counter bores. Many shallow 0-80 and 2-56 tapped holes.

Parts were turned from stock plate, a fixture was made and threads were cut into the backside to hold down the sheet. Challenges included deburring the part.

Used Virtual Gibbs CAD/CAM, CNC Mill Haas. Four operations 96 holes on top, helicoils in the side, about a 55 min run time. Made quantities of 25 and 50 of this part.

HL CNC Mill, CAD/CAM, 3 operations, top and bottom made, +-.002 tolerances on most of the dimensions, very thin walls on the bottom of the inside pocket, Quantities of 50+.

Used CNC Lathe Haas TL-1, connected to a Yuasa Indexer. Turned the outside of the part, made fixtures to hold the part as we machined the edges. Machined the outside edges using the 3rd axis.

Used CNC Lathe, with quiccode, and CNC Mill for the threads. Fine thread on outside, had tapped holes M2 both sides. Made quantities of 5 and 10.

From a sample part, idea of re-engineered part, used the CMM to find dimensions, CAD/CAM to program, the VF-3 was large enough to machine part in 2 setups, example of assemble, small lathe parts on the flats.

Autocad File .dwg was used to input dimen- sions into the CAD/CAM system, CNC milled on the inside and outside and then flipped over to bring in the back. All dimensions were checked on the CMM

First the blank was rolled to the curve which we checked on the CMM, then a CAD,CAM program was sued to scult it out, CNC mill with many fixtures to hold the part in place.

Manual lathe, held +-.001 on concentricity, large thread on end. Heat treated and aged, than passivated. All dimensions were inspected 100%, all certs were provided.

Used the Takisawa Manual Mill. Project included keeping the finish and tolerance in. Quantities in 5 and 10.

Part was annealed, and then rough CNC milled out, then annealed again for stress relief. CNC milled on top and bottom to avoid stress, the side holes were manually drilled and tapped.

CNC Mill Haas, with Virtual Gibbs CAD/CAM. Part was machined using 2.5 D on the inside of the part to allow for drainage holes, the fins were machined out of the top, run time total about 4 hours, made in quantities of 10, several different revs were made.
