Spring end grinding Case Study: ICE Spring Boosts Spring End Grinding Efficiency by 154,24%
The Polish branch of a family-owned German company that manufactures lightweight structures and key components for the world's leading car manufacturers faced a critical challenge of keeping up with increased customer demand. After assessing manufacturing processes, the company determined that reducing cycle times while grinding spring ends was the most significant improvement opportunity. The company was looking for a solution capable of precisely grinding spring ends made from wires with a diameter of 4,25mm.
INNOVATIVE GRINDING SOLUTION STREAMLINES SPRING PRODUCTION
Facing the task of enhancing production efficiency, a German manufacturer of springs and metallic components wanted to eliminate the need for multiple grinding wheels when grinding spring ends of different wire materials. The requirement was to find a single grinding solution for high carbon steel 4,0 mm and stainless steel 3,6 mm compression springs, thus streamlining their manufacturing process and meeting increased market demands.
ADVANCED HOT MILL ROLL GRINDING TECHNOLOGY DELIVERS ENORMOUS SAVINGS
A leading hot mill roll grinding facility was challenged to reduce their overall cost of grinding while maintaining aggressive roll processing levels. The company has tested other products that have shown longer life, but none of these wheels allowed them to achieve desired cycle times or effectively grind harder to grind materials like HSS.
Meeting Hot Mill Production Demands
A hot roll mill was looking to increase their material removal rate (“MRR”) on hard-to-grind tool steels to reduce their overall cycle time. To avoid outsourcing some of their grinding operations and significantly increasing overall costs, they began looking for ways to reduce cycle time.
