Girder´s new machining process • Finish • Control of the temperature of the room +/- 0,25° C to avoid thermal dilatations. • Be sure not to introduce any linear or torsional deformation Test with dial indicators • Use 3 supports and 3 clamping points (L/5 and in the middle)
Girder´s new machining process • 3 supports and 3 clamping points supporting the part in top face • Finish-mill face right face to high tolerance Reference face • 3 supports and 3 clamping points supporting the part in right face • Finish-boringø10 H7 • Finish-mill face D Right face Top face Top face Right face
Girder´s new machining process • Turn table 180 • Finish-mill 80 h6 • Finish mill 15h6 • Finish-boring40 H6 and 39,8 H6 Bottom face Right face • Girder fit • Stamp holes
Improvements of the new machining process • Better machine, with better tolerances • Temperature control: • Better control of the room´s temperature • Better temperature control in the milling zone Really important to avoid thermal dilatations • Different machining process • Don´t leave the small drills for the final
