Case Study: HGR35 Guideway Upgrade for 5-Axis CNC Machining Center case study

دراسات الحالة

دراسة حالة: ترقية قضيب التوجيه HGR35 لمركز تشغيل CNC خماسي المحاور

شركة بناء آلات CNC ألمانية قللت وقت التجميع بنسبة 35% وأزالت استدعاءات محاذاة المغزل بعد التحول إلى قضبان توجيه HGR35 بدرجة P4 مع تحميل مسبق C1 من Dongfeng.

Customer Challenge

A precision CNC machine tool builder in Germany required HGR35 linear guideway rails with P4 accuracy class for a new series of 5-axis machining centers. The existing supplier could not maintain consistent preload and running parallelism across production batches, leading to machine assembly delays and field callbacks for spindle alignment issues.

Dongfeng Solution

Dongfeng supplied HGR35 guideway rails in P4 accuracy class with C1 preload, manufactured from GCr15 chrome steel hardened to 58-62 HRC. Each batch included CMM dimensional inspection reports documenting rail parallelism within 5 microns, running smoothness test data, and hardness verification certificates. A dedicated QC checkpoint was set up to verify interchangeability of slide blocks across the full batch.

Results & Value

After switching to Dongfeng's HGR35 guideway rails, the customer reported a 35% reduction in machine assembly time due to consistent preload and drop-in interchangeability. Field callbacks for spindle alignment issues dropped to zero over 12 months. The customer placed repeat orders for 3 consecutive quarters and expanded the scope to include HGR45 rails for larger machine models.
