The Challenge

The customer manufactures RV leveling and extension systems using a Daewoo turning center with 8” (203.2 mm) chuck and 250 PSI (17.237 bar) water soluble oil coolant. The part being machined is an adapter for RV room extension rods made from wrought aluminum.

Unhappy with this process, the customer requested a solution to reduce cycle time and tooling costs.

The EcoCut accomplished this process using just one tool. The tooling saved the customer significant money and lowered the machine’s cycle time.
