Transmission housing component

Angled pocket closed in a single setup.

Aluminum transmission body machined on five axes

Project

Angled pocket closed in a single setup.

Multi-surfaced aluminum transmission housing for a Tier line in Bursa. Pocket, clamping face, and bearing seat had to hold on the same reference. The measure of this job was not showcase quality—it was repeatability the assembly line would accept.

Requirement

Separate setups were opening position at the station.

Splitting three angled pockets across separate setups shifted positional tolerance at assembly, not on the CMM. Second clamping broke the first reference. Where the line stopped was not the report—it was the pocket the housing would not seat in.

Kapsam

Single datum, first part, then the same job card.

Scope covered not the full housing family but the surfaces stopping the line. Production opened after first-part approval.

Multi-surfaced housing
Angled pocket, clamping face, and bearing seat on one part.
Single 5-axis fixturing
No re-indexing. Reference locked in the vise.
First-part approval
Series job card not written until the housing is measured on table.
Repeat order
Same program and vise version carry to the next batch.

Yaklaşım

Housing written to a single reference.

5-axis reduced three setups to one station. Short tooling cut deflection; toolpaths did not enter cutting until collision check passed.

Uygulama

Transmission station read the housing as one part.

Housing seats on the line with angled pocket and clamping face. Separate milling station removed. On repeat order, same program opened; vise unchanged.

01
Reference
Clamping face became the datum. Angled pocket written to this plane.
02
Toolpath
Short tooling and controlled paths. Long overhang not left in the pocket.
03
Approval
First housing measured. Second part not opened until job card locked.

Outcome

Re-clamping removed.

Housing family closed on a single reference. On repeat order, vise and program version unchanged. The part the line saw was a copy of the housing approved on table.

Integrated system
Pocket, clamping face, and bearing seat on a single 5-axis reference.
New production flow
Three setups reduced to one; intermediate station removed.
Deployed solution
Locked program and vise opened on repeat order.
Process scope
Transmission housing, first-part approval, and series job card.

Kullanılan çözümler

The job was the intersection of two services: angled geometry closed in 5-axis, approved job card carried to series.
