The Rock Button Bits drilling concept uses a conical drill bit, which contacts the workpiece material with a high axial (downward) pressure and rotation speed. The friction heat generated by the drill bit can soften the workpiece material and become ductile enough to make The drill bit drills into the workpiece and forms a neck and bushing around the hole. The total thickness of the ring neck (located above the surface of the workpiece) and bushing (located below the surface of the workpiece) can reach 3 times the thickness of the workpiece. The increased thickness can provide support for the bearing, or use a tap to machine threads on it.
Rock Button Bits chipless drilling process is suitable for processing mild steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, brass and other ductile workpiece materials with a wall thickness of 0.5~12.5mm. Common processing objects include automobile exhaust, handling and frame parts, pressure tanks and water tanks, various ducts and piping systems, HVAC manifolds, and metal furniture.
The diameter range of the hard alloy Rock Button Bits head is 1.5~50mm, and the machining repeatability can reach 0.013mm. It can be used for standard drilling machines or CNC machine tools. The machining power level is 1.5~3.5kw, and the main bearing speed is 1000~3500r/min. The selected cutting parameters are also different according to the processed hole diameter, workpiece material and thickness. In order to optimize the processing quality and accuracy of the hole, the lubricant must be filled manually or through an automatic spray system before each processing.
The typical processing cycle time of Water Well Drilling Tools head is 2~6 seconds. The clamping of the drill bit adopts a socket chuck, and the shank type is 2# and 3# Morse taper shank or 20mm straight cylindrical shank.
