Case Study: 7791 VS

7791VS - Plunge Cutter

The plunging process dramatically reduces cycle times versus profiling operations.  Due to its Z-axial cutting force, plunging minimizes tool deflection and side forces even when the spindle setup is unstable.

The case study shown is a component machined on a machine with low rigidity.
