Processing is possible even without a dedicated adapter.
However, we recommend using an adapter for stable processing and repeatability of the cutting edge position.

About the EcoCut Mini (ECM) Adapter

B EcoCut Mini's shank end-face restraint improves machining stability and repeatability of the cutting edge position
C In addition to the coolant that passes through the inside of the EcoCut Mini, a mechanism that injects coolant from the end face of the adapter toward the back of the EcoCut Mini.
D Internal lubrication mechanism

F Groove for access of external coolant hose
G Flattening is placed on 4 sides (90° phase)
▼ Processing data
Improvement Guidelines: Part 1
Tool consolidation and surface improvement
Current Processing Process
1) φ2.8 center drill
2) End-face grooving tool
3) End mills (counterboiling, end face finishing)
The end surface of the end mill is poor.

・EcoCut Mini for tool consolidation
・Improved quality of the machined surface (edge surface roughness: Ra 1.3 μm)
Improvement Guidelines: Part 2
Drilling holes with a current drill
Roundness cannot be obtained due to vibration during processing
Concentricity with the outer diameter of the workpiece cannot be obtained.
Inner diameter dimension tolerance (H9) cannot be obtained
Therefore, it is necessary to finish with a reamer

・By using EcoCut Mini for a turning finish, roundness, concentricity, and dimensional tolerances are also improved, resulting in remarless performance.
EcoCut Mini of the same size can be used with different workpieces with different dimensions, reducing tool costs.
Improvement Guidelines: Part 3
・Improvement of processing efficiency
・Reduction of tool costs

result
・Reduction of processing time by increasing the feed volume (f=0.03→0.05mm/rev)
・Continuous machining of 5,200 workpieces, which greatly exceeds the current 2,000 workpieces, is possible for the required accuracy of Rz 6.3 μm or less.
Improvement Guidelines: Part 4
Tool consolidation and machining time reduction
Current Processing Process
1) φ3.8 drill
2) φ4.0 flat drill (bottom flat finish)
3) φ5.2 part chamfering and inner diameter finishing turning
Since there is a pilot hole φ3.8, chips stretch during flat drilling.
