The customer machines aircraft spacers made from 6061 Aluminum using a Haas SL20 lathe with through tool coolant.
Because this was a large volume job, the customer needed a solution to reduce the cycle time.
The EcoCut made a significant difference for the customer and successfully reduced cycle time.
