Streamlining the Production Process with Phillips Opto

Precihole Process

Gun Drilling

Gun Drilling is a deep hole drilling process used to create precise and accurate holes in metals and alloys. The process involves a long, thin drill bit with a coolant flowing through it to lubricate and cool the drill bit. The coolant also helps to remove debris from the hole, resulting in a high-quality finish. Gun drilling is commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries to create parts such as engine components, medical implants, and fuel injectors.

BTA Drilling process

BTA (Boring and Trepanning Association) drilling is another deep hole drilling process used to create precision holes. It involves a specialized drill bit with a tube surrounding it to remove debris and provide coolant. The BTA drilling process is commonly used to create deep holes in large components such as hydraulic cylinders, oilfield pipes, and turbine blades.

Ejector Drilling Process

The Ejector Drilling process is a specialized deep hole drilling process used to create holes with a diameter greater than 50mm. This process involves a specialized drill bit with a tube that creates a vacuum, pulling debris out of the hole while also providing coolant. The Ejector Drilling process is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to create holes in large pipes and casings. It is also used in the construction of wind turbines and other large-scale components.

Skiving & Roller Burnishing Process

Skiving and Roller Burnishing is a combined machining process used to create precise and smooth surfaces on cylindrical parts. The process involves two main stages: skiving and roller burnishing.
Skiving is a process where a rotating tool with multiple cutting edges is used to remove a thin layer of material from the surface of the cylindrical part. The tool is fed along the length of the part while rotating, resulting in a smooth and even surface.
After skiving, the roller burnishing process is used to create a high-quality finish on the surface. The roller burnishing tool has a series of rollers that apply pressure to the surface, causing the material to deform and create a smooth and shiny surface finish. This process also improves the surface hardness and reduces friction, resulting in improved wear resistance and longer lifespan.

Pull Reaming Process

Pull Reaming is a machining process used to create precise and accurate holes in cylindrical parts. The process involves a specialized tool called a reamer, which is used to remove material from the inside of the hole. The reamer has a series of cutting edges that remove material as it rotates, resulting in a smooth and even hole.
The Pull Reaming process is unique in that the reamer is pulled through the hole, rather than pushed, as in traditional drilling. This allows for better control over the hole’s size and accuracy, resulting in a high-quality finish. The process also produces less heat, reducing the risk of damage to the part.

Honing Process

Honing is a machining process used to create precision surface finishes and accurate dimensions in cylindrical parts. The process involves a honing tool with abrasive grains that are mounted on a rotating spindle. The honing tool is moved back and forth through the cylindrical part, removing material and creating a smooth surface finish.
The Honing process can be used to improve the roundness, straightness, and cylindricity of the part, resulting in improved performance and functionality. The process can also be used to create specific surface finishes, such as a cross-hatched pattern, which improves lubrication retention and reduces wear.

Trepanning Process

Precihole’s Trepanning Special Machine (SPM) is designed to perform trepanning operations on Purpose cylindrical components used in the automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic industries. The machine can create holes with a diameter ranging from 10mm to 300mm and depths of up to 1,000mm.
Trepanning is a drilling process that involves removing a cylindrical core from a solid workpiece. The trepanning process is used to create larger diameter holes with accurate dimensions and precise tolerances.
In the trepanning process, a trepanning tool is used to cut a circular groove on the surface of the workpiece. The tool then cuts a cylindrical core out of the center of the groove, leaving a hole in the workpiece. The cylindrical core can then be removed from the tool and the workpiece, leaving a clean and precise hole.

Pull Boring Process

Precihole’s Pull Boring Process is a precision machining method used to bore holes in various types of materials, including metal and plastic. This process involves using a specialized tool called a pull boring tool to remove material from the workpiece, resulting in a smooth, accurate bore.
The pull boring process begins by mounting the workpiece securely in a lathe or machining center. The pull boring tool is then inserted into the workpiece and advanced through the material. As the tool is pulled through the workpiece, it removes material and creates a precise hole with a high level of accuracy and surface finish.
