The so-called V-type engine is an engine design where all the cylinders are divided into two groups, with adjacent cylinders arranged at a certain angle to each other, forming two banks of cylinders set at an angle in a V-shape when viewed from the side.

The primary purpose of the V-type engine is to address the excessive length of inline engines. Its main advantages include compact height and length dimensions, lighter weight, easier arrangement in the engine compartment, higher rigidity of the cylinder block, suitability for high-speed operation, and the ability to increase power by raising the engine's RPM limit or to enhance torque by enlarging the cylinder diameter. However, it has a drawback: its complex structure requires equally complex molds, making the machining process challenging.

Ultra-deep V-surface Machining Technology:

Due to the extreme depth of the V-surface on the moving mold base, the positioning frame and wear-resistant frame surfaces are perpendicular to the V-surface. Apart from electrodes and custom tools, there are no other machining methods available. Given the customer's tight production timeline, we collaborated with tooling suppliers to jointly develop an extended right-angle milling head and researched new machining techniques.
