Machining Range
Depending on the quantity of parts to be produced, I can help you choose the most suitable and cost-effective means of production. I can then prepare for production by modeling each machining operation, as shown below in the machining process plan.
This machining process plan allows :
- obtaining a more accurate estimate
- saving considerable time during machining
- reducing the risk of misunderstanding and errors
Below, I present a process plan initially intended for the production of Liege Anson shotgun actions in large quantities for the Gunsmith School of Liege.
First phase
Creation of a sand casting to limit material removal during milling. This operation is only viable for a certain number of parts because it requires the development of a model.
Second phase
Machining using a 5-axis positional milling center. 5-axis positional milling is less expensive than continuous 5-axis milling, and it is not necessary in this case to work continuously since the shape is already created through casting.
Third phase
EDM wire cutting to cut the sear slots, front hook, and milling heel (previously left for proper clamping in the 5-axis machining center vise).
Fourth phase
Machining with EDM by pressing for the rear hook, key spring slot, and bolt slot. EDM process is necessary but should be used minimally as it is a very expensive process.
