TBP-BM

①1 pass machining * no extra operations required

Competitor’s product

①Roughing - grooving operations
②Finishing - back turn operation

The current process required 2 steps to complete the part feature.
NTK's BM chipbreaker achieved shortened cycle time with a single pass operation.
High quality finish on the OD and shoulder due to the chipbreaker design which evacuates chips away from the part
