innova iovations CASTING


The walker casting signifi cantly reduced the total part numbers and inventory needed for the customer’s tillage equipment manufacturing facilities.


T e fi nal design proved a successful


fi rst conversion. Together, the customer and Monarch were able to reduce the number of parts to just three, and the customer reported the castings provide an average 30% reduction in cost over


the original weldments. In addition, the machined castings provide tighter tolerances and better dimensional sta- bility. T e casting design eliminates the need for left- and right-hand versions, and the casting process allowed extra


material to be placed in areas where strength was needed for a stronger part. T e customer said the casting re- sulted in a part with a cleaner look and it freed up plant capacity in its welding and fabrication departments. 
