Reliance Tool Reduces Ceramic Bearing Production Time and Costs with Mitsubishi Electric Robot
Case Study BACKGROUND Reliance Tool was awarded a contract to refine and quantify processing costs to machine precision ceramic components in conventional CNC machines. The contract required Reliance to develop optimized machining processes for extremely hard ceramic materials, such as silicon nitride, with the ultimate goal of lowering the cost of commercial production of ceramic bearings. All-ceramic bearings can operate at much higher t
