Circulator pump housing

Pump Housings EN-GJL-250 / 1.4301 (V2A)

Initial situation at the customer

Circulation pump, housing, process engineering

  • Inflexible process: Facing slide units on a transfer line
  • Long non-productive times during tool and product changeovers lead to machine downtime
  • Requirement: Short cycle times and product changeover times
  • High degree of flexibility required when machining all part variants on a single machine

Special features of this solution

  • Automatic tool changeover possible
  • Tool configuration does not affect machining times thanks to replacement tools
  • Flexible process allows preconfiguration using the setting fixture
  • Quick tool changeover
  • 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
  • Shorter cycle times due to z=2 compared to machining on lathes

Tool highlights
