A Whole Lot of Holemaking
With metalworking business booming in all market sectors, both fabricators and machinists are drilling and finishing more types of holes than ever, faster, deeper and with more precision in a widening variety of materials. Here is some of the latest equipment and tooling to help them drill and finish more accurate and consistent holes, with higher reliability and longer tool life.
Custom Turnkey, Small and Economical Deep Hole Drilling Systems
Somex deep hole drilling systems from Suhner can be integrated directly into transfer machines, special purpose equipment or conventional turning centers.
Industry 4.0 Drilling and Fastening Systems
The brushless motor, powerful battery pack and intelligence hardware and software in the M18 FUEL Hammer Drill, Drill/Driver, and Hex Impact Driver from Milwaukee Tool deliver unmatched power, run time and durability on the jobsite through one of the most powerful 18V cordless tools in its class.
Irregular-Shape Drilling of Spherical and Curved Automotive Parts
For multi-cavity fine hole drilling on materials such as hard alloy steels to powder metallurgy materials, the Ocean Tech River 600 5-axis CNC EDM drill from Methods Machine Tools significantly reduces wear, with shorter burn times and reduced energy consumption.
High Speed Mag Drill Increases Tool Life for Carbide Cutters
Carbide tooling is more effective at drilling holes when turned at a higher rpm – and the HMD906 portable high speed magnetic drill from Hougen does exactly that: its high torque, high rpm, two-speed motor cuts holes more efficiently with carbide than standard mag drills.
Universal Cordless Magnetic Base Drill for Steel and Other Metal Construction
With a drilling capacity up to 1-3/8 in diameter and 2 in drilling depth, the Slugger by Fein from Fein Power Tools is the lightest universal cordless compact magnetic base drill in its class.
JPW Launches Online University for Metalworking
JPW IQ uses e-learning to connect their buying groups, distributors, and sales reps with their brands.
High Precision Gundrilling of Bone Screws, Surgical Instruments and Other Medical Components
Using a counter-rotating workpiece headstock that greatly enhances concentricity on small parts, the UNE6 gundrilling machine from UNISIG is ideal for drilling bone screws and surgical instruments made of high strength titanium or surgical-grade stainless steel.
High Speed Machining Unlocks Huge Productivity for Brass
A new study reveals how U.S. machine shops can ramp up production speeds on brass parts with no loss of workpiece quality or tool life.
How Smart Drilling Improves Bone Fracture Operations
When repairing a fracture in osteosynthesis, doctors once had to manually determine bone diameter and hole depth during the operation using a gauge, which could lead to mistakes in screw selection. Now an intelligent drilling machine can properly measure the length of screws without error.
