- Challenge: 5 axis machining centers work great, but additional throughput was needed to make tough parts with less handling. In addition, the future in healthcare will continue to have downward pressure on the device industry so finding more efficient ways of making parts is not just a benefit, it’s a necessity.
- Solution: THR Motorsports has invested heavily into the 7 axis machining market. Capabilities of bar feeding up to 42mm material, 30,000 rpm spindles, milling and turning capability, true multi axis milling, and a work gripping pick off allow THR Motorsports to run challenging projects up to 80% faster and with “0 minutes” manual load time between parts. Load a meter of material, press start, come back hours later with a hundred parts complete. A laser tool analyzer in the machine as well as an operator that performs in process inspection ensures that the parts stay to print throughout the entire machining process.
