A global value manufacturer needed a domestic source for Swiss machining of a specialty valve stem. What makes this unique is the requirement for rolled threads. Their previous supplier made these in 2 operations, we were able to drop them off complete in one operation, while running lights-out. This significantly improved the overall quality of the parts while controlling costs for the customer.
We produced and delivered 5000 pieces to our customer in Texas, within their lead time requirements, and to their exacting specifications.
Production processes included rough & finish turning, thread rolling, grooving, and milling. The Parts was made from 303 stainless steel, and measured 1.500″ long with an OD of .312″, and a tolerance of +/- .0004″
Project Specifications:
With our skilled technicians and advanced equipment, we can meet specific tolerances and specifications to manufacture the best solution for our customers. Below are some of the spec highlights and equipment details from this project:
-
±.0004″ Tolerance threshold
- 0.312″ Diameter x 1.500 Long
- 32 RMS Rolled Threads
- ISO 9001:2015 Certification
- The tightest tolerances that can be met are within ±.0004″
- The component was manufactured using 303 Stainless Steel.
- The primary piece of equipment used was a Swiss Turning Center.
- The overall part dimensions included an outside diameter of Ø.312″ and a length of 1.500″. To meet the customer deadline, these were machined “lights out” for a quick turnaround.
