High efficiency and volume production are the two key success factors in all kinds of manufacturing companies. Most often than not, the manufacturer’s best friend to achieve both things are boring milling machines. These pieces of equipment are very versatile in the industry that can perform multiple tasks apart from boring and milling. Paired with the right tools and accessories, they can also do drilling and threading. The machine’s performance and productivity are further improved by the advent of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology. With the help of the powerful CNC software, axes and peripheral tools used, the machine parts can be controlled faster and more precisely.
These capabilities result in higher levels of accuracy and reduced production time in manufacturing. Moreover, modern boring milling machines have the capacity to create holes and cut various materials. Their powerful strength can also be used to cut through superalloys, high tensile steels, and titanium. Compared to boring equipment used several decades ago, improvements in the machines’ capacity today include greater stiffness, higher speed and horsepower, as well as feed capacity. The highest specification for horsepower available is at around 200 Hp.
Boring milling machines come in many different types including line boring, tunnel boring, directional boring, jig boring, cylinder boring, horizontal and vertical boring machines. Among these milling machines, the most commonly used by the manufacturing and processing industries are the horizontal and vertical boring mills. With their multitude of applications, there are also several factors to consider when using both of these boring mills. These criteria include concentration of the hole to be created and the drill’s straightness. To achieve these machine precisions, there are two forces that have to be nullified during operation: the tangential and radial cutting force.
When those two forces come into play, they can make a hole non-concentric and not cantered. So, they have to be negated to achieve the precision needed to make holes in workpieces. Whatever your boring requirements are, it is best to partner with TOS America to provide you with the most innovative and advanced boring milling machines. Our array of cutting-edge equipment is made to the highest level of the industry standards for your most productive and efficient manufacturing business.
