Maximum economic efficiency thanks to inserts with four usable cutting edges. The patented geometry provides for optimal radial force compensation, resulting in close tolerances and surface quality.
Precision Drilling Across MaterialsU-DRILLS excel at precise metal drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Designed with a robust carbide body and advanced TiN PVD coating, they ensure long tool life and superior surface quality, allowing for repeatable results and high process reliability.
Flexible Operations for Modern MachineryThese drills fit various machine types, including CNC machining centers, lathes, and drilling machines. Compatible with standard and custom lengths, they serve the needs of diverse industry applications, from high-volume manufacturing to maintenance operations, easily tackling both through and blind holes.
Optimal Performance and Cooling EfficiencyU-DRILLS support internal and external coolant supply, guaranteeing excellent chip evacuation and temperature resistance up to 600C. Used with oil/water emulsion lubrication, they deliver consistent performance at recommended speeds, minimizing tool wear and maximizing material removal rates for improved productivity.
FAQs of U-DRILLS:
Q: How does the internal and external coolant supply benefit U-DRILLS performance?
A: The combination of internal and external coolant supply ensures optimal cooling and efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup during drilling. This helps maintain the tools hardness, extends its lifespan, prevents workpiece damage, and supports consistent, high-quality finishes.
Q: What insert types are compatible with U-DRILLS?
A: U-DRILLS are compatible with double-sided, positive, and negative inserts. This versatility allows users to adapt the tool to various material types and applications, optimizing cutting performance for both roughing and finishing tasks.
Q: When should I use U-DRILLS in CNC or manual operations?
A: U-DRILLS are suitable for both manual and CNC machine operations. Use them on CNC machines for high-volume, precision tasks or on manual machines for smaller batch production or maintenance jobs, making them ideal for versatile workshop environments.
Q: Where can U-DRILLS be applied and on which materials?
A: U-DRILLS are ideal for metal cutting and drilling applications in industries working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. They are widely used across automotive, heavy engineering, and general manufacturing sectors throughout India.
Q: What is the recommended process for using U-DRILLS to achieve superior surface finish?
A: To achieve a surface finish up to Ra 1.6 m, it is recommended to operate U-DRILLS at 1000-3500 rpm and 120-180 m/min cutting speed, with proper lubrication using oil/water emulsion. Select the insert type based on your workpiece material, and ensure the appropriate torque settings as per diameter.
Q: How can I benefit from using TiN-coated U-DRILLS for my machining tasks?
A: The TiN (Titanium Nitride) PVD coating provides high hardness (HRC 45-55), outstanding wear resistance, and temperature stability up to 600C. These properties translate to longer tool life, reduced tool changes, and consistent drilling accuracy for demanding applications.
