A HOLISTIC VIEW

THE GROWTH IN DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF two-wheelers and three-wheelers requires cutting tool makers to not only offer precision tools but also improve the machining strategies for complex cutting processes. In such deals, the cutting tool manufacturers are focused on service and ensure that the applications are perfected, which helps the two-and three-wheeler companies to be more productive while seeing that the quality of the manufactured part has significantly improved. Enhanced machining is the mantra of the present and future and this is how the cutting tools industry is supporting the speed in change.

The machining components of two-wheelers and three-wheelers have very little difference except for the structure, and because of this, the tools used are the same. These days, the engine parts of two-wheelers and three-wheelers have more aluminium and light-weight material alloys.

Talking on the subject, Jay Shah, MD, Tungaloy India, said, “PCD tooling for aluminium machining is very common for both custom-made tools and standard tools, to be used in the crankcase, cylinder head, clutch housing, etc. Cermets are very popular for finish boring and turning of all transmission and steering components and CVD coated tools are popular for machining cast iron components like wheel hub and cylinder block.”

Shailendra Chamoli, product manager, Walter Tools, said, “Walter has come up with excellent solutions in hole making, milling & grooving. In the recent past, we have introduced new geometries and coatings, which gives an enormous advantage in chip breaking, tool life and process reliability which is the prime requirement for BS-VI norms. Walter’s new coating known as Tigerâ–ªtec Gold is a universal grade for drilling and milling applications. It helps in achieving performance improvement of up to 75% in different materials.”
