Project Title: Automated Brake Shoe Milling Machine
Product: Automotive Brake Shoes
Project Description: Provide one milling machine to apply finished precision milled surfaces at two critical areas on each brake shoe
Project Specs:
System capable of milling 500 parts per hour
Finished tolerance of ±.002 in. from spec
Manual load, auto handling/milling
Solution:
The SDC automatic brake shoe milling machine successfully runs 600 parts per hour within the ±.002 in. spec. The system has averaged less than 2% rejected parts.
The manual load was simplified with an enterprising brake shoe holding fixture that clamps parts securely and accurately over a wide range of incoming part variations.
After loading, the shoes are indexed on the dial through two milling stations. The milling stations actuate on precision slides to perform milling operation.
