Six operations, in the order the part travels through the shop. The section scrolls to follow them.

  1. Sawing on the band saw: the blade in the cut, with coolant.

    Step 01

    Sawing

    The bar is cut to blank length, with an allowance for chucking. The heat number of the material is recorded here, and from this point the part can be traced back to its certificate.

  2. The two stress-relief furnaces, with sawn blanks on the hearth.

    Step 02

    Stress relief

    The sawn blank is held at temperature and cooled slowly, before the first chip. The rolling stresses are released while the part carries no dimension yet; released later, they would move dimensions already cut.

  3. Conventional lathe: the part clamped in the chuck, with the tool in the cut.

    Step 03

    Blank preparation

    On the conventional lathes the sawn blank is prepared for clamping in the chuck of the CNC lathe, where machining follows. The CNC lathe thus receives a part ready for clamping, not the bar as it comes off the saw.

  4. Mazak CV5-500: a ring clamped on the trunnion table, with the tool in the cut.

    Step 04

    Roughing and finishing

    One process, across the whole CNC park: the bulk of the material comes off first, then the functional dimensions are cut. The shaft is turned in two set-ups - one half, then the other, overlapping in the middle - while the flats, the bore and the bolt circle come out of the five-axis set-up with no repositioning error between them.

  5. Surface grinding: the wheel passing over parts held on the magnetic table.

    Step 05

    Grinding

    After the CNC work, not before it. This is where the exact geometry, the parallelism and the fine finish are produced - the ones cutting can no longer tighten - and where the dimension reaches its final value.

  6. The probe of the coordinate measuring machine on a ring.

    Step 06

    3D measurement

    The first article is measured in full, and the series is checked on the critical dimensions. The dimensional report travels with the batch, alongside the material certificate.

The part, after all six operations

The same shaft, drawn at the end of the road. Picking an operation lights up the features it produced - the rest stay dim. That shows what the finished drawing owes to each pass through the shop.

Operation
What it produces

Schematic representation. The dimensions are those of the simulation’s reference drawing, not of an ordered part.

How to read the drawing

The dash-dot line down the middle is the axis of rotation: the part is symmetrical about it, so it is drawn once and understood whole. Dimensions marked Ø are diameters, not radii - a confusion that costs half the material. The dim outline behind is the bar it started from.

The same profile as the simulation

This geometry is not drawn separately: it is the same list of coordinates that drives the roughing simulation above. Two drawings of one part, made from different data, would contradict each other at the first change.

Whether a part fits the machine park

Entering the dimensions of the part returns the machines in the park it can be made on.

Documented quality, not declared quality

Every batch leaves the shop with a material certificate and a dimensional report. Every part can be traced back to the heat number of its stock.

01

3.1 / 3.2 material certificates

Per EN 10204, with every delivered batch. The certificate comes from the material supplier, for every grade that enters the shop.

02

Batch traceability

Every part can be traced back to the heat number of its material.

03

First article inspection

FAI per AS9102, before the series is released.

04

Dimensional reports

3D measurement across the flow, with a report for every batch.
