Nice work. Are you press fitting the flange?
Everything will be welded but all the fit tolerances will be no more then .005". I am going to try and use the electron beam welder to weld these first as it is a far more superior weld then TIG welding. Then again the machine cost as much as your average house $250,000. If the beam welder doesn't work out then they will be TIG weldedNice work. Are you press fitting the flange?
I completely agree and they will be oval when i stamp them.One suggestion, plenty of butterfly valves are cut from the bar at an angle, to get an oval shape which seals with the bore much more solidly than a circle within a circular hole which will always have a clearance.
ThanksImpressive
I know i wish i had one but i only have access to 3-axis cncI know you may not have access to one but these parts are begging to be done
on a 4-axis lathe.
ThanksThis is awesome! Great job, man!
Yes Z is manual and x,y is CNC. I am writing the G-code now for our 3 Axis. Its a tad old so its just easier to write the code instead of trying to load a DXF onto it as it only has a floppy drive and its offline software is built for MsDos.Is z just manual?
At the moment im waiting for the new material i ordered to make them from that should be in tomorrow. I decided to go with the newer design as its much easier and cheaper to machine. I was having problems trying to machine the bearing holder without having a CNC lathe with live tooling. I couldn't get the hole and counter bores for the shaft and bearings to be concentric to each other.Just checking in.
I noticed that you can still work around it two ways. ILl post more once im home.The mk4 MAP sensor also does IAT. so it needs to be in the flow of air versus just getting a pressure reading.
