Automotive Components Manufacturing Support |
Region: USA
Industry: Automotive Component Manufacturing
CLIENT PROFILE:
- Leading manufacturer/Vendor of Automotive component manufacturing in the
USA.
OBJECTIVE:
- To provide the manufacturing support which includes machine tool path generation in
master-cam, Machine fixture, Pressure test fixture etc…
.
Business Challenge
- Customer needed CNC programs for complex product using master-cam software and fixture design for machining parts.
- Customer also required 3D model in case they have only customer prints
- Sometimes customer required the pressure test fixture in which automation of fixtures is done using hydraulics and pneumatics cylinders, limit switches, sensors etc.
- Also includes fixture parts manufacturing drawings.
- Deliver defect free products and services in a timely and cost effective manner to meet or exceed the customer’s expectations.
Milestone Solution
MILESTONE SOLUTION:
- Milestone has provided engineering support services to a growing list of happy clients from around the globe.
- We provide machining programs using master-cam for quoting purposes and some cases actual machining programs if fixture is present.
- Our modelers created 3D models and manufacturing drawing using solid works within the delegated time.
- 3D CAD development and concept as needed, Design review/ Modification and manufacturing drawings.
- The team consisted of one 3D modeling specialists, one master-cam expert.
Mastercam Toolpath Programs:
- Mainly the programs are generated for 3 Axis, 4 Axis machine and the lathe machine.
- Customer provide us the customer drawings and model to generate the master-cam programs for the parts. They provided us the machine as well as the casting model to compare the machining region on parts.
- Our team member generates the tool path and specify feed and speed, according to the material and part complexity.
- For this project, we also provided the client custom tool for different operations which would reduce the time of machining and costing.
Fixture Design
- Customer required a machining fixture for easy transition from part to part, increased accuracy.
- Customer also provide us the guidelines for fixture design that includes the properties like total force required, clamps suppliers, stroke length, overall dimensions etc.
- Customer also sometimes pressure test fixture with the automation and mechanism using hydraulic and pneumatics.
BUSINESS IMPACT DELIVERED:
- With proven project management processes and expertise in latest tools, Milestone helps in reducing time and saves effort on complex designing projects
- 30% of cost reduction. As total Engineering work has handled by us.
- Quick Turnaround due to Time difference. This proved very effective as it involves with day to day routine manufacturing.
- Avoid of machining components further reduces cost & manufacturing time.
