Case Study 34
October 2011
A manufacturing engineer at Smith & Wesson, took a hard look at the company's revolver frame machining operations and realized that toolholding was not allowing machine tools to run at their maximum RPM. The culprits were cutting tool deflection and runout, so machines have to be run slower during heavy milling to maintain part quality. In case of aluminum revolver frames machined on 4-axis horizontal milling machines with CAT 40 spindles with standard ER collets for holding cutters, machine spindle speed during rough milling operations was restricted to just 5,000 RPM on machines rated to run at 10,000 RPM.
