Processing of blanks

The processing of blanks is the first step towards precisely fitting components. We ensure that blanks are shaped precisely in order to achieve the highest quality. Without precise machining, dimensions would be inaccurate and surfaces would not be uniform.

For us, processing blanks means adapting them precisely to the desired specifications. This requires clean cuts, smooth surfaces and tight tolerances. Only in this way can components be reliably assembled or further processed later on. Choosing the right process is crucial in order to make optimum use of material and shorten production times.

Using state-of-the-art machines and precise measuring methods, we ensure that every component achieves the required quality. Professional processing of blanks saves time, reduces costs and ensures long-lasting products. Rely on our experience for perfect results.

Processing blanks with CNC machines ensures maximum precision and efficiency. At SUSA S. Sauer GmbH & Co. KG, we use state-of-the-art technology to machine blanks exactly to specification. This results in components with perfect dimensions and a clean surface.

Processing blanks with CNC technology means consistent quality for every workpiece. The machines work automatically and with high repeat accuracy. Errors are minimized and even complex shapes can be produced precisely. This saves time and avoids unnecessary material waste.

CNC milling makes the processing of blanks particularly economical. Large quantities can be produced reliably and quickly. At the same time, the flexible control system enables individual adjustments. Each component is optimally processed without time-consuming manual reworking.

With our experience and state-of-the-art machines, we guarantee you precise and durable components. Rely on our expertise for perfect results in every production process.

Precise tools are required for the machining of blanks in order to achieve exact results. At SUSA S. Sauer GmbH & Co. KG, we use modern milling tools that are optimally matched to the material and the desired surface quality. This is the only way to process blanks without risking dimensional deviations or uneven cutting edges.

Depending on the material, differently coated cutting tools are used. For hard metals, we use solid carbide milling cutters with special coatings that minimize wear and ensure smooth surfaces. For aluminum and soft alloys, high-feed milling cutters are suitable, which enable high cutting speeds. Turning tools with fine cutting edges are used for round parts to ensure dimensional accuracy and perfect edges.

The targeted use of the right tools makes the machining of blanks more efficient, more economical and of higher quality. With our experience and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure precise results in every production process.

The machining of blanks is significantly influenced by the hardness of the material. We rely on precisely coordinated machining strategies to efficiently machine even high-strength materials. Machining blanks means precisely adapting the right tools, cutting parameters and cooling strategies for each hardness class.

Hard materials such as tempered steels (up to 60 HRC), titanium alloys or tungsten carbide require extremely wear-resistant tools. We use PCD tools and CBN tools that have been specially developed for these materials. The cutting speed must be adjusted to prevent overheating and tool breakage. We also reduce the cutting depth and use minimum quantity lubrication or dry machining to keep thermal loads low.

Softer materials such as aluminum or copper alloys allow higher feed rates and larger infeeds. Here we optimize chip removal with polished cutting edge geometries and high-feed milling cutters. An adapted material strategy ensures burr-free edges, minimal dimensional deviations and a uniform surface quality. In this way, we guarantee high-precision machining of blanks regardless of the material hardness.

Machining blanks requires precise control of the cutting depth to ensure optimum cutting conditions. We attach particular importance to precisely coordinated infeed, as this has a direct influence on cutting forces, tool wear and surface quality. Machining blanks perfectly means defining the ideal cutting depth for each type of material.

Too large a depth of cut generates high cutting forces and temperature loads, which can lead to tool wear, dimensional deviations and vibrations. Particularly with hard materials such as hardened steel or titanium, reduced infeeds in combination with stable tool holders are necessary. If the depth of cut is too low, however, this can lead to chatter marks, insufficient chip formation and increased wear on the cutting edge.

We optimize the machining of blanks through the use of dynamic feed adjustments, optimal tool geometries and adapted cooling strategies. High-feed milling cutters enable greater cutting depth with lower cutting forces, while trochoidal milling strategies ensure even loading and longer tool life. This enables us to achieve maximum efficiency, high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface quality, regardless of the material.
