Deep hole boring comes with challenges created by the inevitable deflection that occurs when trying to finish a hole of a substantial depth. Various factors determine the best approach to solving the issue, and it’s important to consider all factors before choosing a solution for your boring needs.
Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.
With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.
The lightweight Series 318 Large Diameter Boring System is designed for heavy roughing of bores for diameters up to 24.4"—and a special adapter can extend the system even further.
With sizes ranging from 41 to 203 mm, the EWE digital boring head for fine boring features a large on-head display and connects to the BIG KAISER app making extremely precise bores easier than ever.
By using digital technology and optimized indexable inserts, Schmauser Müller Metalltechnik has increased process reliability and efficiency in fine boring, as well as increased the lifetime of its tools by a factor of three.
BIG DAISHOWA has introduced the new, large diameter Kaiser 318 Series - a complete tooling system supporting a variety of aluminum and steel components optimized for twin cutter rough boring, precision finish boring and precision OD turning operations.
