This "beauty" is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!
This tower-shaped workholding is affectionately called a "tombstone".
Tombstones allow EMI to set up and run larger volume production efficiently. In this case each of the tombstone's four sides holds two parts.
Our Mazak HCN-4000 4-axis horizontal milling center has an attached 6-pallet changer, so our machinists can set up and automate production of 48 parts at a time for our customer, which keeps the cost low.
The final result on the left, compared with a blank, for reference.
If you need higher volumes of precision parts, beyond what most machine shops can deliver efficiently, reach out and let's see if EMI can help.
Each week we will feature something we've been working on. We hope you'll find these posts informative.
