Documented engineering achievement: Component: Rack & Pinion Steering Gear Housing.
Machining complex stepped internal bores required four separate tool stations and multiple indexings, leading to high cycle times, tool change delays, and cumulative concentricity errors between bore diameters.
Q Tech Products engineered a rigid, multi-insert combination boring bar that consolidated: (1) 3-step bore diameters, (2) 3 internal chamfering angles, and (3) 1 spot-facing operation into one synchronized axial feed stroke.
