No downtime on high volume production lines: quick change rotary bushings help line boring bars stay in position.(AUTOMATION FEATURE)
Production Technology News, June, 2006
Rotary bushings are commonly deployed in transfer line tooling applications such as auto-motive engine block cam, and crank boring. They pay automakers significant efficiency dividends because they guide line boring bars with the frictionless support they need to machine precision bores. A stride beyond the more common--and better known--common drill bushing, rotary bushings not only facilitate accurate cutting they also do away with heat, wear and chatter. Their use in production can boost CPK value as well, a calculation that gauges the extent to which a process has met the quality specification limits established by customers.
Although rotary bushings are a small but vital component of high-volume manufacturing they can also be an Achilles heel. This is...
