The Challenge

The customer is machining a turbine housing sensor made from 347L stainless steel. They use a Kiwi HMC with a water soluble coolant-through.

The customer was unahppy with this process and needed to reduce cycle time and decrease tooling costs.

The EcoCut tooling dramatically reduced the cycle time and also eliminated three tools in the production process.
