Due to the nature and speed of the manufacturing processes that intervene in the creation of parts for shafts, the results are usually very aggressive with the final aesthetics of the product and very tolerant with the defects allowed on its surface, that is, it is common for them to have a visual defects that must be corrected in a pre-machining process and even the part must undergo geometric corrections due to mechanical deformation before receiving the precision machining service.
Let us pay attention, for example, to the defects that the shafts usually present in their length. Sometimes they show bending defects because they were manufactured at high speeds or carelessly transported to their destination before final machining. Some of the most common defects are presented in image 1.
We can perceive that there are deformations or curves that move the center of the axis diameter away from a marked reference line, it is this same line that marks the turning center of the
lathe and if you try to machine the piece without correcting the deformations, there is a risk of irreparably damaging the product, thus wasting man-hours and material in inefficient work
that definitely should not be accepted by the customer.
Material specification data, elongation and toughness points, and stress calculations in simulation software are used to judge whether the part can accept the geometric correction. Once this
judgment is released, the operator in charge of the process begins to apply calculated pressure on the points to correct the deformations one by one and along the part.
