Abstract

The article focuses on the workflow developments achieved by Alro Machine, a machine shop in Lindenhurst, New York, with their implementation of an M40-G multi-process machine from WFL Millturn Technologies. The machine reduced cycle time in the shop's production of helicopter spindle nuts. The machine also minimized the production costs incurred by Alro due to its modified chamfering tool under programmed command, taking advantage of the machine's ability to index the part in the spindle.
