New Hexagon Holes Capability for CNC Turning

October 6, 2024 – meviy, the cutting-edge parts procurement platform developed by MISUMI Group Inc. is excited to introduce the immediate availability of hexagon holes for CNC Turning. This enhancement broadens the design options available to product engineers, providing an efficient and cost-effective method to incorporate hex fastening features into their components. This new capability from meviy offers product engineers a streamlined solution for integrating hexagonal fastening features into their designs, ensuring both quality and competitive pricing.

Technical Details:

• Manufacturing: Hex holes can be produced along the center axis of parts, either through broaching or machining, based on the size of the hex.

• Tolerancing: While width and depth tolerancing and geometric tolerancing are not applicable to hex shapes, engineers can still expect precise and reliable results.

• Surface Treatments: All surface treatments and heat treatments are available, although surface roughness specifications are not applicable for hex shapes.

• Material Availability: Hex holes can be manufactured in all materials. For resin materials, the hexes are always machined.
