Drilling Time Reduction Using Rambo Drill

 CASE STUDY: RAMBO DRILL CYCLE TIME REDUCTION



THE CHALLENGE

A  manufacturer was machining 2 pin bores on a high volume automotive part made out of ductile iron.

Originally the manufacturer was drilling then reaming the pin bores. The Monaghan team was brought in to help reduce cycle time and the number of tools needed.


Industry: Automotive

Material: Ductile Iron

Volume: 225,000 EAU



SOLUTION

The Monaghan team, recommended an MK Tool’s Rambo Three Flute speed drill with a GTX coating. This drill eliminated the need for a second tool (reamer) and reduced cycle time by 5 seconds per part.

Tool: MK Tool's Rambo Drill

Description of Tool: Three flutes with GTX coating

FINAL RESULTS

After working with the Monaghan and MK Tool’s team the manufacturer was able to reduce cycle time by 5 seconds per part and eliminate a tool from the operation.

At 225,000 estimated annual units, and 5 seconds saved per unit because of the MK Tool’s solution, the manufacturer was able to save 312 hours per year equal to 39 shifts of 8 hours.




SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Tool Reduction: 2 to 1

5 Second per part cycle time reduction

Yearly Cost Savings: 312 Machining Hours!
