Cut Chamfer |
Rolled Chamfer |
| Producing a cut chamfer involves removing materials from the
corners of the end leaving an angular transition between the two planes. |
Producing a rolled chamfer involves displacing material from the
end(s) of the wire to achieve an angular transition between the two planes. |
Advantages |
Advantages |
| As this is a machining operation the angular transition is
relatively smooth and uniform. This may be important in situations where mating
part has tight tolerances, the end of the wire is visible, the part is assembled
by the consumer, or there is concern regarding the potential for edge-pull of
certain finishes other than plating. |
The primary advantage of the rolled chamfer is the price.
The rolling process is much faster than cutting. Additionally, if the part
requires knurling it is possible to produce a rolled chamfer in the same pass
of the machine. |
Disadvantages |
Disadvantages |
| The cutting/machining process is slower than rolling,
therefore more expensive. |
| |
 |
|
| Due to the nature of the rolling process
the chamfer will not be as uniform as a cut chamfer. Also the "cupping" at
the end of the part may be a concern if a consumer assembles the part or if
the chamfered end is visible. Erisco has been extremely successful selling
rolled chamfers to a variety of industries. If you would like to see samples
of a rolled chamfer or additional information, please contact Erisco's inside
sales department. |
