The nose is a critical part of nail guns. The nose guides the nail for framing and nailing applications. The part is manufactured in Coimbatore, India and we have been working with the customer for close to five years. The concept to delivery time is 6-8 weeks.
Material Selection
The nose is made from IC 8620 nickel alloy due to the toughness of this material. The nose will be subject to considerable wear and tear so it is necessary to use a tough metal. This alloy is also one of the most widely used low alloy steels.
Manufacturing Processes
For this casting we used our usual investment casting process with a robotic system. For machining we used turning and grinding machines. The part has a complex profile, so ceramic cores were used to achieve the intricate internal features.
Our gating, assembly method and consistency of manufacturing process and 100% visual inspection ensure product quality and reliability. We also hold specialised certifications that guarantee process stability. We stay up to date with concepts such as lean management to further ensure quality and process stability.
Quality Control
Critical dimensions were maintained by machining after heat treatment. Quality was also assured by our production part approval process as well as visual inspections. In addition we have a defect-image reference catalogue for shop-floor workers to assist them in identifying good and bad parts when carrying out inspections.
Optimised Production Lines
A ceramic core was added to wax injection to accommodate part complexity. The ceramic core is injected and fired separately before the wax injection process.
