When the cost of PCBN cutting tool than the traditional tools 10-20 times higher, the study shows that they are in terms of the comprehensive productivity and tool life more efficient to 10-300 times. In a way, these findings are based on analysis tool cost per part assessed. To better understand the economic benefits of hard turning, consider some of the accounting department sometimes overlooked factor is helpful. These factors include the tool change time, adjust the time, processing time, machine maintenance, spare parts and machine quality original cost.
Hard turning good economy may be partly attributed to the machine itself. Grinder CNC lathes much larger than the investment, CNC lathes are usually one-third to one-half the cost of the grinder. Also, in terms of processing capacity CNC lathes greater flexibility. Tool change can be completed within two minutes, there is no need to replace the wheel of production time lost. These flexible to allow small quantities of parts fast, economical and good production.
