Gundrilling Process Description


Gundrilling
Gun drilling is the process of drilling long or deep holes, first used in the making of gun barrels more than 100 years ago. Gundrilling is an efficient process to drill holes in materials such as steel, titanium, copper, cast iron, aluminum and plastics. The process is highly efficient for drilling deep or short holes, tight diameter tolerances, surface finish quality and minimum run-out. The gun drilling process eliminates the need to ream or hone the drilled bores and does so with extremely high repeatability. Liberty Machinery Company buys and sells used gundrilling machinery and has in stock several units from Eldorado, DeHoff, and Mollart. These units are the 1/2" X 15" Stroke, Eldorado M50-1033, Ext. Platen, F-10 Hi-Press. Clnt., Tooling, 1979 [18219], 18" Str x 1/2", DeHoff 518, 2-Spdl, 3HP, 11K RPM, Hi-Press Clnt, AB SLC 5/03 PLC,1996 [14927], Mollart, 1" x 28" Cap, CNC Gundrill Mach Ctr, 2-Pallet, X-Y-Z-W, Fanuc OMC, 64pos ATC [17686], 3/4" x 30" Stroke, Eldrorado M75-1041, F-18 Hi-Pres. Clnt., Chuck, Tlng, 1979 [18575] and provide wide versatility for manufacturing operations.

Another characteristic of gun drilling is that it provides virtually burr free bore intersections, bore entries and exits. A gundrilling system consists of the gundrill, workpiece fixture, drill spindle, coolant filtering, coolant supply, coolant type, and tool support and drill parameters. The units which Liberty Machinery Company has in stock as items 18219, 14927, 17686 and 18575 are manufactured by Eldorado, Dehoff and Mollart.
