A new range of high performance threaded shank drills has been launched by AMEC, specifically for the aerospace and defence industries, which use replacement insert technology and are fully compatible with both Quackenbush® and Lübbering® drilling systems.
Until one of AMEC's German distributors, stepped in at specialist hydraulic systems manufacturer, Bolenz & Schäfer GmbH, the company had subcontracted work where holes larger than 90mm diameter were required due to the additional demands placed on its machine tools.
By replacing its existing deep hole drills with the new BT-A drill from Allied Maxcut, engineers at Cummins' diesel manufacturing plant in Daventry have achieved a 40% productivity increase and doubled the tool life on its crankcase manufacturing line.
The latest innovation from AMEC is the new BT-A deep hole drilling system, which uses the latest T-A® and GEN2 T-A® replaceable insert technology to deliver significant gains in productivity, penetration rates and tool life improvements over other alterative deep drilling solutions.
