The Technology: Thermal friction drilling and thread forming Typical Application Areas Your Advantages
Flowdrilling Increase of productivity:
A Flowdrill uses rotational speed and axial force for a local chipless drilling and tapping
®
creation of frictional heat. It plastifies metal materials and no waste and removal costs
forms accurate bushings in between seconds: no additional investment or storage costs
with multiple length of the original material thickness reduction of operation steps
chipless, no waste no extraneous materials needed
in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper... high process reliability
for all typical material thicknesses > 0.5 mm solid-carbide tools provide extra-long lifetime
for high loaded threads from M2 to M20 and up to G1"
thus replaces welding nuts, rivet nuts and pressed nuts Perfect flexibility - applicable on:
Automotive and agriculture Construction, solar and heating industry standard pillar machines
Flowtapping CNC - automated machines
Flowtapping is also a chipless operation. The thread shape is our special designed mobile drilling unit “Flow2go”
formed through the whole bush length. Therefore a thread
length of minimum 1 x D can normally be achieved. The Company
The load of a cold formed thread beats a standard cut thread For almost 40 years years we manufacture our special hard metal tools by in-house production only.
