The end-user is machining clutch castings made from 6061 Aluminum, using a horizontal machining center with water soluble coolant.
The customer did not want to use multiple tools for this process. They asked Allied Machine for a solution to complete this application with one tool.
The AccuPort 432 finished the job with one pass and eliminated the need for multiple tooling.
