For more than 90 years, Cornell Forge has lead the forging industry in creating high-quality metal products. Recently, one of our top clients approached us with a problem they were having with their near-net forged pinions.
The client wanted to create products that had less material to reduce machine time. Their previous pinions allowed 3–5° of draft, but they thought we could do better. Working with their engineering team, we were able to finalize a design that held to 1° max draft.
Background of the Project
This client approached us because they knew our experienced design team would work closely with them to create a product that exceeded their expectations. With them, we launched 14 new parts in six months, and we visited their facility weekly to ensure that they were successfully incorporating our parts into their finished products.
Product Specifications and Information
Working with this client, we were able to achieve production volumes of over 500,000 parts per year. We delivered their first order within 8 weeks of their initial request, and we’ve been on time ever since.
The forged pinions achieved draft tolerances of 1° or less, greatly increasing the efficiency of their finished products. By working with Cornell, this client was able to create a wide range of efficient products for many different industries, boosting their profit margin without causing them any extra headaches.
