The Situation

The Solution

Customer was drilling gun barrels. The drill had 'through the tool coolant' and was programmed to run the first three quarters of the hole at 11 IPM, then finish with 3 pecks that each required a different feed rate. Monitoring a drill with through spindle high pressure coolant of this size was imperative to keep the quality of parts and cost of tooling and manufacturing in check.

Our cutting-edge machine tool process technologies, coupled with premium machine tool solutions, and our combined support, training, and applications expertise have provided the metal cutting manufacturing industry

with unparalleled productivity, reliability, and cost effectiveness.
