Drilling & Boring

Across every industry, manufacturers are working to meet growing customer demand in a globally competitive market. Despite a widening skills gap, by organizing advanced technology into highly optimized work cells, manufacturers are maximizing productivity through automation.

Rigibore's ActiveEdge Apex revolutionises fine boring, operating as a fully integrated, closed-loop solution to automatically compensate as the tool wears.

Twist, indexable, replaceable-tip and spade drills can performed most machine work in today's shops.

Rigibore's special tooling capabilities allow multiple features to be machined on a single tool, performing two or more critical operations simultaneously, reducing cycle time.

Cellular manufacturing steadily permeates the metalworking world

ADO-SUS's "Mega Cooler™" coolant hole shape improves coolant flow and chip evacuation while reducing heat generation; this reduces work hardening and results in longer tool life.

Why do indexable carbide drills excel in more extreme drilling applications? To find out, watch Allied's senior product manager and engineering trainer team up to demonstrate.

Abrasive Technology's P.B.S.® braze bond grinding products promote high diamond exposure with optimal coverage for aggressive tooling that lasts longer, cuts faster and runs cooler.

A full line of hand-held bevelers that feature extra-rigid blade locking systems and blades incorporating a radical chipbreaker to transfer heat without cutting fluids has been introduced by Esco Tool. Millhog Right Angle Bevelers feature the EscoLock wedge-style blade lock system which has a large clamping surface and double-threaded screw to hold blades rigidly.

Eliminating chatter, especially when boring deep holes, is one of the greatest machining challenges.

Rigibore runs a specialized subprogram that ensures precision accuracy after an insert change.

FlexCNC machine mills, drills, taps and bevels large or long workpieces.
