High Speed Drills for Better Results

A large part of our focus is being able to turn product around to the customers very quickly. That is one of the reasons that we want to see something innovative in machining. Then the search of new drilling technique has brought us to to the more reliable way of drilling process which was by quick drills. After research into high speed drilling machinery and technologies, the new high speed drills model emerged the front runner in carbide tooling capability, ease of operation, accuracy, maintenance and setup for the metal working companies.They collaborated on other factors, such as optimum chip removal processes and the proper sequencing of the Quickdrill machines within the production process.

With the introduction of these high speed drills the drilling capacity immediately expanded in scope and scale. These could be capable of drilling designated patterns of holes in tube sheets ranging in thickness to several inches. These are suited for carbon steel plates that are typically 4 to 6 inches thick.

The ability to use carbide tooling enables better precision, finishing each hole on the machine. Prior to Quickdrills, the process involved using a CNC drill and then transporting each workpiece to a radial drill to complete reaming, ring grooving and deburring processes.

With these drills, 90 percent of all operations can be performed on a tube sheet before the part comes off the machine. In the past, only 40 percent of the work was completed on CNC machines. The Quickdrill's finishing capability combined with the ability to drill deeper holes and maximize speed and feed rates has meant a 30 to 40 percent increase in productivity on the majority of workpieces.

These drills were capable on working often up to 20 hours per day,since the in-house maintenance training offered by these new drills has had good results with the machines.

Everybody talks about how well these machines do on bigger items, but one thing that will impress us is the Quickdrill's ability to also drill the smaller tube sheets. It's pretty amazing the volume these machines can turn out. It is harder to do this with the regular drills with similar set-up.

Maintaining means looking into the future. Most of the experts of machining plan to continue working with this high speed mills. The carbide drilling manufacturers to refine their hole drilling processes focusing on drilling even deeper holes to a finished size faster and at less cost per hole. These new drilling process provide us the platform on which to perform the work.
