Short tool life causes low production and quality


  • ​​Through ultrasonic dense and subtle vibrations, it could reduce the cutting heat and resist extra tool wear since the tool and martials aren’t contact with each other continuously.
  • In addition to ultrasonic high frequency vibration, HIT ultrasonic machining module contain CTS system which could help effective coolant in Inconel drilling procedure.
  • HIT ultrasonic machining module adopts Non-contact power transmission. Without consumables, it can be well-maintained in high rotation speed, which is necessary in Inconel drilling process.
  • There might be some wear on your tool while machining, our module can automatically track and maintain the most suitable resonance frequency with your tool, hence, it is no need to control manually. 
  • Combined conditions above, HIT ultrasonic machining module provides revolutionary improvements in Inconel drilling process , and it will be the most economic way in high precision drilling in the comparison with other ultrasonic machine and CNC machine.
 
It may be familiar for you when it comes to Inconel, a kind of tough nickel alloy.  The superior properties in temperature and pressure tolerance makes Inconel a ideal use in extreme environments such as aerospace and nuclear. On the other hand, the perfect toughness is incredibly hard to work with.
 
What could HIT ultrasonic machining module solve in Inconel machining? In this case, we took a try on Inconel drilling assisted with our module and have a successful achievements in longer tool life and  increasing efficiency to 30%.
 
 
The extreme toughness poses challenge to most of the machine and tool. And It would place extra wear and tear on tools through continuously contact while drilling in traditional CNC method. 
 
The bottleneck in Inconel drilling is not only tool life but also precision since the continuous pecking between materials and tools causes dislocations.
