Optimizing & Enhancing Valve Seat Machining: 15-Minute Savings with COFA

A customer in South Carolina faced challenges with the deburring process for holes in 316 Stainless Steel parts on an OKUMA HMC machine. Hand deburring resulted in extended cycle times and continuous part rejections due to raised metal issues. Heule's solution, the COFA6-260-Z2 deburring tool paired with the GH-C-M-0002 blade, was tailored to address the specific needs of .292" holes with a .319" chamfer size. The implementation of this solution not only eliminated raised metal issues but also significantly improved debur quality, leading to a remarkable time savings of approximately 15 minutes per part. Overall, Heule's deburring solution proved highly efficient and successful in optimizing the customer's deburring process.
