Metal Cutting Corporation Solves 5 year Finishing Problem with Microconic

6/8/2018

0 Comments

 
CEDAR GROVE, NJ. -  Metal Cutting Corporation is an independent metal fabricating company that specializes in the burr-free abrasive cut-off of metal parts and the related grinding, lapping, polishing, turning and EDM.  They  manufacture precision metal components for a diverse range of industries, including medical device, automotive, electronic, biotechnology, semiconductor, aerospace, fiber optic, electrical and general mechanical industries.
Recently, Rich Swift from Metal Cutting Corporation, reached out to Masa Tool on Instagram,  @Microconic, and told us:
"I recently purchased your collet system and can't tell you how happy I am with it. I have a part the has a .004 wall thickness and before your collet, no matter what I did I kept getting collet marks on my parts. Not only are the collet marks gone but it's within .0002" round. Thank you for making a superb product."

Rich Swift's instagram comment to Masa Tool
​That comment lead to us wanting to learn more about how Metal Cutting was using our workholding! This is the very first application success story that has been shared with us on Instagram.   Rich was kind enough to send us some information about how he came to be using Masa Tool.
According to Rich, 

"The pictures with the part on the penny is the one I mentioned on Instagram. I have work on this part for the past 5 years and just when I was ready to throw in the towel I saw an adverstisment for your Microconic collet system in Production Machining Magazine.  I got in touch with Doug Brown, the Vice President of Allendale Machinery here in North Jersey,  and  he put me in touch with Masa Tool's regional manager Mark Bergonzi."

About Metal Cutting Corporation

Metalcutting Corporation
Metal Cutting Corporation was founded in 1967 and moved to their current 52,000 square foot manufacturing facility in 1998. In 2008 they expanded their existing machine shop capabilities with Haas and subsequently Citizen turning equipment, allowing them to offer multi-axis CNC milling, lathe and automatic Swiss style machining up to 7 axes.

Their specialty has always been small diameter parts made from all metals.

"The parts can be long but are most often short, often very short."

When the company started in the late 1960's they  primarily worked with non-ferrous metals, especially tungsten and molybdenum. So much so that  in 1984 they became the exclusive North American distributor for Nippon Tungsten Co., Ltd.’s tungsten and molybdenum products. Since  the the 1980's they have been working with and machining more stainless steel and now have a developed a deep knowledge of machining the newer nickel and titanium based alloys.


Brass Medical Part Swiss machine
The part shown above has a .001" runout specification and previously run parts showed that the pickoff collet was making a tri-lobe detent on the .032" diameter. Needless to say Masa Microconic eliminated that problem.
Citizen K-16E VII Microconic Wokholding
Tiny brass contacts made on Citizen K-16E VII and held with Microconic. The head thickness is .010"/.012" and the small diameter is .030"/.033".
Mark, from Masa, and and Doug, from Allendale Machinery, visited Rich at Metal Cutting.
​
According to Rich,  "I was sold before he could get it out of his demo case."

​"Since this part is a medical part every thing had to be perfect. Ever since I purchased the Microconic system our customer has been very pleased with our parts and, believe it or not, it has less burrs than before."
Over the past several months Rich has been able to apply the Microcnic system to several other products that they make in their Citizen Machines.
