Drilling is a fundamental process in machining, but choosing the right drill type can significantly impact efficiency, precision, and overall production costs. Flat Drills — such as HPMT’s Flat Drill W15 — offer specialized advantages for machining flat-bottomed holes with higher accuracy and reduced secondary operations.
Balancing productivity, tool life, and cost efficiency is a constant challenge, and when one falters, the entire operation feels the impact. In the fast-paced world of semiconductor manufacturing, precision isn't just important—it's everything. Recently, a customer in the semiconductor industry approached us with a pressing problem: their tools were wearing out too quickly. This led to frequent tool replacements, extended downtime, and soaring operational costs. For a company driven by precision and efficiency, this was a roadblock that couldn’t be ignored.
Our recent customer tool test on NiTiCo 30 C46 achieved impressive results, achieving 10,000 holes in automotive valve rocker arms, surpassing industry standards by 300%!
