Sandvik Coromant introduces CoroDrill 462 with -XM geometry and CoroDrill 862 with -GM geometry for precision drilling in industries that deal with small parts such as medical, aerospace, automotive, and general engineering, electronics and watch-making among others. This range of micro drills is available to support machining in all ISO materials, P, M, K, S, O and H. Offering a wide range of cutting diameters and lengths.
The growing need for smaller electronic parts presents real challenges for manufacturers, including in processes like micro-drilling that involves producing holes smaller than 3.00 mm (0.118 inches) in diameter. Micro drilling techniques are used to produce components ranging from aerospace components, hydraulic valves, watch cases and medical devices to surgical instruments, electronics, actuators, sensors, navigational systems and more.
To compete in the growing EMS markets, manufacturers must maintain the highest levels of quality control, while also reducing any issues in the production process that can cause excess scrap or downtime, for which high-performance drilling solutions are needed.
