Choosing the right system AMEC Deep Hole Drilling ® 3 Selection guide When to select the Single Tube System, Twin Tube System and XL, 3XL systems BT-A - Single Tube System • In material with poor chip forming properties • In long work applications such as engine blocks • Requires a special deep hole drilling machine • Long production runs BT-A – Twin Tube System • Requires no seal between the work piece and the drill bushing • Preferred option when used in conjunction with a predrilled hole for guidance • Can be used with modified lathes, horizontal boring machines and turning centres • Ideal for transfer lines • Easy machining material XL & 3XL Holders • Flexible range of diameters and drill depths • Requires good coolant pressure and volume • Requires a pre-drilled hole for guidance • Can be used with conventional machining centres Special Drills • Large diameter to depth ratios (+32:1) • Cross holes • Angled exits • Accurate alignment tolerances • Long productions runs Every product in our deep hole drilling programme has been designed to deliver maximum performance in a diverse range of applications and demanding manufacturing environments, to ensure the correct AMEC deep hole drilling solution is selected for a specific application therefore providing the best possible range of benefits in terms of productivity, cost per hole and tool life. Within our innovative BT-A range we incorporate both Single Tube and Twin Tube systems to provide the maximum versatility and performance. Alongside the BT-A ranges, the XL and 3XL holders increase the flexibility of the AMEC deep hole drilling programme even further, while maintaining the performance, productivity and precision for which we are known. Also, where a special tool is required, AMEC provides a purpose designed, dedicated solution using our extensive tool design and manufacturing experience. Typical Components – Industry sectors XL & 3XL Holders • Aerospace Landing gear • Automotive Engine blocks, track heads, hydraulic cylinders • Process Industry Oil holes • Ship yards Coolant/oil holes in engine blocks • Defence Industry Barrels • General Engineering Mixed production – short series Special Drills Special tool applications can be found in all industry segments.
