An Indian manufacturing company specializing in aluminum material processing approached us with a challenge: improve machining efficiency for six distinct tool models.
The customer initially said they needed a PCD micro drill, but the tool drawing they provided was more like a milling cutter.
The Challenges For Moresuperhard
1. Design Ambiguity: Client-provided drawings lacked critical details, particularly cutting-edge counts for welded tools.
2. Manufacturing Complexity: The processing effect and tool design required by the customer are very complex and difficult to produce.
3. Cost Optimization: The costs of different designs and solutions vary greatly, and it is necessary to carefully evaluate which design is more suitable for the customer's working conditions.
Solution provided by Moresuperhard
After detailed analysis, we recommend:
1. Dual-solution strategy: provide integral and welded PCD tool configurations
2. Cost-effectiveness explanation:
- Integral tool: higher durability (30% longer service life), but higher initial cost
- Welded tool: 60% lower cost, equivalent short-term performance
3. Sampling solution: Provide three prototype solutions for customer testing
Currently waiting for customer feedback and confirmation on the design solution to advance the next production plan.
