OSG Mill Reconditioning Keeping Your Competitive Edge
CNC Training OSG CNC technicians are extensively trained on proper setup methodologies and reconditioning processes by an on-staff CNC trainer. Through their development, the CNC technician training program moves operators through three levels where they are diligently monitored and certified/reevaluated annually to maintain consistency and quality in our tools. Technicians are also trained and certified/reevaluated annually by Quality Assurance to perform inspections to print on first piece and in process tools. Inspector Training In order to guarantee that our tools are reconditioned to the highest standards, inspectors also undergo annual training and certifications which involve standardized procedures. These are the same methods that are used in the OSG manufacturing facilities in Japan and around the world. Inspectors are trained to inspect and measure tools completely to the original tool prints.
Throughout the reconditioning process, the tools are also continuously inspected until 100% visual inspection ensures that no chipped or defective tools are received by the customer. The high tech inspection equipment used at the reconditioning facility is the same equipment used at all OSG locations. This includes in-house developed tool analyzers and state-of-the-art equipment with up to 300x magnification capabilities. The key to inspecting high performance, accurate reconditioned tools is assuring that they are held to the same inspection standards through the use of the same inspection methods as new OSG tools.
The Bensenville plant is subject to OSG’s stringent JQA regrinding standards and is certified regularly by OSG Japan.
Equipment and Facility In 2015, OSG opened a reconditioning facility which is equipped with state-of-the-art production and inspection equipment. The facility uses high precision 5-Axis CNC grinders throughout the reconditioning process for improved repeatability and precision. OSG’s weekly equipment Preventive Maintenance (PM) program ensures consistency and accuracy throughout the reconditioning process. Through this PM program, OSG’s tool reconditioning performance will be consistent year after year.
