A contract machine shop that repairs and maintains equipment for the oilfield industry is machining the base of a wench for an offshore oil rig made from alloy steel. They use a Lucas HBM NMTB taper with through coolant using RCA to produce their products.
The customer needed a solution to reduce the cycle time of the process.
The Original T-A reduced the machine’s cycle time while providing increased penetration rates.
