Custom handlebar yokes for Harley Davidson motorbikes | SprutCAM X

SprutCAM X system is the ultimate solution for crafting bespoke components for automobiles and motorcycles. One prime illustration of its capabilities comes from Solo Precision Ltd, a valued UK customer. They recently tackled the task of replicating handlebar yokes for a custom Harley Davidson, reverse engineering them from vintage custom parts. The intricate yolks were meticulously milled from high-quality aluminum using a Hurco CNC machine, a process made possible by SprutCAM X.

In the words of the satisfied customer, “I couldn’t do it without SprutCAM; it’s an excellent system.”

This accomplishment underscores the invaluable role of SprutCAM X in the world of precision engineering for automotive customization.

What operations SprutCAM X employed for making this part:

1) Roughing waterline

The waterline roughing operation is used for preliminary rough machining of models of a complex shape, which have significant differences to the workpiece.

2) Face milling

The face milling operation removes stock on a given horizontal plane with one of the following strategies:

a) One pass,

b) One way,

c) Zigzag,

d) Optimized zigzag

e) Spiral.

3) 2D contour

The operation is designed for machining along horizontal contours or curve projections on the horizontal plane, cylinder or figure of revolution. It is also possible machining with the cylindrical and polar interpolation.

4) Holes machining

The hole machining operations are designed for drilling, centering, boring, countersinking, tapping, thread milling and hole pocketing. It can machine holes that are not lying in the same plane and that are not lying in orthogonal planes. The operation can be used both for the machining of holes in a model, or for pre-drilling of the tool plunge points for the pocketing and waterline roughingwaterline roughing operations.
