GUIDEWIRES: Delivering 2x Time Savings for Part-to-Part Cycle Time with the Glebar CAM.2
Challenge: A leading guidewire manufacturer turned to Glebar with a critical challenge – to create an innovative process that would significantly reduce cycle times while achieving the precise sharp corners essential for medical guidewires.
Solution: Glebar provided a configurable grinding system with the CAM.2for various guidewire geometries using a combination of modes to efficiently grind parts. This provided the customer with multiple advantages, including:
- Mode 1: A profiled grinding wheel to maximize material removal for taper transitions and shorter cycle times.
- Mode 2: A secondary spindle with a second grinding wheel to make sharp transitions without sacrificing speed.
- Programmable Part Extractor (PPE): This feature allowed for rapid and accurate positioning of the wire, further decreasing part-to-part cycle time.
- This customized solution delivered 2x time savings for part-to-part cycle times.
