This element wears out with the handling of the operators over time. Due to its complex geometry, it is not possible to machine the part in one block, but the element has to be divided into 3 different parts.
After analyzing the geometry of the element and taking advantage of the benefits of this technology to reproduce complex geometries, we designed a model that meets all the requirements of simpler functionality. The prices of the spare part and the delivery time were substantially reduced.
