DRILLING | GEN3SYS® XT Pro and XT High PenetraƟon Replaceable Insert Drilling System

Case Study Example CASE STUDY

A

The PROOF is in the NUMBERS

DRILLING

CompeƟtor Tool Life (number of holes = 65)

Project Profile: Tooling SoluƟon:

DucƟle/Nodular Iron

GEN3SYS XT Pro: K (cast iron) Geometry

The Problem: Previously, the customer was using a compeƟtor drill:

B

• Solid carbide drill • Tool life = 65 holes

BORING

XT Pro Tool Life (number of holes = 390)

The SoluƟon: Allied Machine recommended the GEN3SYS XT Pro with K (cast iron) geometry. The tool ran at the following parameters: • Hole Diameter = 14.28 mm (9/16") • Coolant = None

• Speed = 117 M/min (390 SFM) • Feed = 0.20 mm/rev (0.008 IPR) • Tool life = 390 holes

C

REAMING

The Advantage: The GEN3SYS XT Pro increased the tool life from 65 holes to 390 holes. In conclusion: 6x the tool life

D

BURNISHING

K

INCREASE in tool life 6x

There's More to the Advantage than Tool Life The XT Pro replaceable Ɵp system provides other benefits in addiƟon to the increase in tool life over the solid carbide drill: • Because only the insert needs changing when it reaches the end of its life, the XT Pro eliminates the need to re-establish tool lengths, which reduces setup Ɵmes. • Further benefit in setup is also seen as the tool only needs changing one Ɵme for every six of the customer's current method. • Without the need for regrinds, the customer's stock of tooling is reduced by eliminaƟng the need for float inventory to cover regrind lead Ɵme.
