Good morning All:
Here is a question for all you turners out there, especially those with micro turning and subspindle experience.
I have a tiny turned cup to process plan and quote in Ti6Al4V titanium; the customer wants quotes on up to 1000 parts per run.
A section view of a Solidworks model is attached below.
The part is 3mm diameter and 1 mm tall.
The wall thickness is 0.1mm (0.0039").
There are no tolerances stated...we are negotiating those but it looks like it will be +/- 0.001" for diameter and parallelism of the flat back face.
No cutoff tab is allowed so it will be 2 Ops.
Assume we can put 0.0015" max rads in the corners.
What machine would you choose?
How would you go about it?
What would you charge to make these in lots of 1000?
I'll likely farm this out...1000 of these at a time on a Prodigy gang chucker sounds more like pain than pleasure to me...especially chucking the part for Op #2
Cheers
