  • Method of manufacturing flanged shafts
    Patent number: 5611136
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a flanged shaft from a forging having a shaft and a flange having an inboard side and an outboard side using a first lathe and a second lathe. The method comprises chucking the forging in the first lathe such that at least the outboard side of the forging may be worked on and finishing at least the outboard side of the flange. The forging is then removed from the first lathe and chucked in a second lathe while referencing the forging off the outboard side of the flange such that the remainder of the forging may be worked on. The remainder of the forging is then finished into a flanged shaft.
