Flowdrilling
A flowdrill uses rotational speed and axial force for a local creation of frictional heat. It plastifies metal materials and forms accurate bushings in between seconds :
- With multiple lengths of the original material thickness
- Chipless, no waste
- in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper ...
- For all material thicknesses > 0,5 mm
- For high-loaded threads from M2 to M20 and up to G1"
- Thus replaces welding nuts, rivet nuts and pressed nuts
Cold Forming
Flowtapping is also a chipless operation. The thread shape is formed through the whole bush length. Therefore a thread length of minimum 1 x D can normally be achieved. The load of a cold formed thread beats a standard cut thread and effects a positive operating lifetime benefit as well.
Typical uses
- Automotive and agriculture
- Construction, solar and heating industry
- Stairs, handrails and fronts
- Steel furnitures and rehab accessories
Your Advantages
- Chipless drilling and tapping
- No waste and removal costs
- No additional investments or storage costs
- Reduction of operation steps
- No extraneous material needed
- high process reliability
- Solid carbide tools provide extra-long lifetime
