In the world of precision machinery manufacturing, every detail matters, and the quality of the components is paramount. Recently, Openex embarked on a project that showcased our commitment to delivering excellence in precision engineering. The project involved the secondary machining of a vacuum chamber, setting it apart from conventional machining processes. The vacuum chamber in question was a 3-ton, high-value welded structural part for a precision machinery manufacturer, and it posed a set of challenges that required exceptional machining expertise.
The vacuum chamber machining presented a unique set of precision requirements. To ensure that the chamber met the strict quality standards of the precision machinery manufacturer, Openex had to achieve precision in various aspects:
Recognizing the unique challenges posed by this project, Openex took the proactive step of assembling a specialized team. This team comprised individuals with over 7 or 8 years of relevant work experience in precision machining. Their expertise was essential for ensuring the safe use of the attachment head and, more importantly, for maintaining control over the chamber's overall dimensional accuracy.
The machining of the vacuum chamber was an intricate process, and the first piece alone took 4.5 days to process. However, this timeframe is expected to improve significantly as the team becomes more proficient and attuned to the nuances of this complex machining task. The gradual increase in processing efficiency showcases the dedication and expertise of the Openex team.
To undertake the secondary machining of the vacuum chamber, Openex selected the Mitsubishi MVR40 machine tool. The Mitsubishi MVR40 is a versatile, high-precision machining center known for its reliability and flexibility. It is equipped with an array of features that make it well-suited to a wide range of applications.
The Mitsubishi MVR40 is particularly well-suited for machining pieces with demanding precision requirements and complex geometries. It is the ideal choice for components like the vacuum chamber Openex undertook to machine. The machine's large work envelope and multi-axis capabilities allow it to handle intricate parts that require precision in various dimensions.
The MVR40 is commonly used for machining various types of components, including but not limited to:
