Equipped with flexible fixture designs and full turnkey automation capabilities, these machines are truly an asset to your production line.
- Surface Broaching (racks, brake calipers)
- Internal Broaching (spline, gear, helical, ball spline, cam)
- Blind Hole Broaching
- Pot Broaching
The Advantages of Production Broaching:
- Multiple machining operations are effectively replaced by broaching, simplifying the overall production process.
- Most other metalworking processes generate extensive heat while machining the workpiece, which can create thermal stress and dimensional variation. In contrast, the broaching process does not heat the workpiece to nearly the same extent.
- There are numerous methods for both internal and external broaching operations, making it easier to achieve an optimized manufacturing process for many types of complex components.
- Broaching services can produce precision components with high-quality surface finishes, reducing the need for various secondary operations.
- Compared to many other manufacturing methods, broaching is a relatively simple process, minimizing the need for highly skilled labor and the associated costs.
An Overview of Production Broaching: Advantages and Applications
The machining process known as broaching uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. A broach is similar in looks to a saw and contains three sections: roughing, semi-finishing and finishing.
Each tooth on the broach has a different rise, or height, that determines the amount of material removed from the material. The feed is built right into the tool and a sequence is created that makes it an all-in-one production process, reducing the margin of error.
Broaching is the most reliable production solution for a wide range of precision machining applications. Even though broaches can be expensive to produce, especially custom broaches, it is usually favored over other processes due to the efficiency and quality of the finished product.
High production rate and low cycle, broaching operations are faster than other metal cutting operations lowering the price per piece for broaching.
