Actuator housing

Application solutions using actuating technology

Actuator housing AlSi10

Initial situation at the customer

Actuator, actuating

  • Requirements for complex contour machining met by a single tool system: Face, chamfer and diameter machining as well as taper machining 1:50 (1.1146°)
  • High requirements regarding form and length as well as IT8 tolerances

Special features of this solution

  • Internal and external machining can be handled reliably with optimal concentricity
  • Automatic tool change possible
  • Tool configuration does not affect machining times thanks to replacement tools
  • Flexible processes mean preconfiguration is possible on a setting fixture
  • It is possible to use standard tools (e.g., drills and milling cutters) in the same spindle
  • Indexable insert technology for low cutting material costs

Tool highlights

Shut-off valve, actuating tool

  • HSK-A100 with U-axis (rotating axis)
  • Internal and external machining with a mounting tool
  • Face stroke 56 mm
  • Diameter range for machining is 112 mm
  • Mounting tool can be offset in five steps for a maximum range of diameters
  • Optimal cooling lubricant supply through inner coolant channel directly onto the cutting edges

Advantages

  • Complex contours and required accuracy handled by a single tool system
  • Low cutting material costs in series production as only two tool types are required for all variants
  • Maximum process reliability despite high variance as contours and taper shape 1:50 (1.146°) are freely programmable and can be corrected
  • Technology partnership with MAPAL makes it possible to combine all machining steps
