Say goodbye to poor hole perpendicularity, cutter marks and low efficiency!
🔹Workpiece: Aircraft Engine Chiller
🔹Material: 304 Stainless Steel
🔹Hole Dimensions: D2x30mm
With Conprofe’s Ultrasonic Tapping and Milling Center, the end customer experiences a 30% reduction in cycle time and a staggering 63 times increase in tool life in 304 stainless steel hole drilling.
3,180 evenly distributed high-quality holes completed with one tool!
Despite the tool’s low rigidity, Ultrasonic drilling reduces the cutting force by 46% and effectively mitigates drill bit chattering, which enables the customer to drill from one single side instead of the original two-sided drilling.

In ultrasonic drilling, chips are broken into smaller pieces compared to traditional drilling. More effective chip evacuation brings out the cutting heat and mitigates the formation of built-up edges.
