Steering Knuckle
Increased economy thanks to the HEULE chamfering solution.
The task in relation to this steering knuckle for the automotive industry is to chamfer different bores forwards and backwards in a single pass without having to reclamp the workpiece.
| Workpiece | Steering knuckle |
| Bore diameter | several |
| Counterbore diameter | several |
| Material | cast aluminium |
The DEFA chamfering tool is chosen for these chamfering applications due to the required chamfer size, dimensional accuracy and the interrupted cut.
| Tool | DEFA |
| Working speed | 1,000 rpm |
| Working feed | 0.06 mm/rev |
| Coolant | emulsion |
The focus is on the cost-effectiveness of the solution. The cycle / production times without stopping the spindle, spindle direction change, interpolation and workpiece re-clamping was less time-consuming than alternative manufacturing processes.
