Learn About Deep Hole Drilling

By Arthur Cook


Described as that with a depth to diameter ratio of beyond 10 to 1, deep holes usually are created through a solid object with an aim of creating important materials as weapons and steel tubes. Deep hole drilling first developed as the need to acquire straight-hole-drilled barrels for the creation of guns became urgent.

Such holes usually are created with the aid of specialized machinery by certain companies. These companies similarly offer such services to other establishments through contractual commitments. Basic concepts are normally applied throughout these processes. Equipment used to drill deep holes usually is exposed to tighter and highly pressurized environments. A fact that requires specialized mechanisms for the process. Such would include continuous ejections of the drilled waste from the area.

Important aspects as the feed and the speed of drilling are key to the proper creation of the desired hole. The procedure can be carried out via a variety of techniques as gun drill, the ejector system and the single tube system otherwise abbreviated as STS. Gun drills, initially created for the manufacture of gun barrels, makes use of specialized holes on the gun drill to flush out cut chips via the aid of a fluid.

The single tube system on the other hand, makes use of these tools made up of one tube. This to supply the tool with the needed fluid to flush out the drilled chips. A different technique from the ejector system, which employs tools composed of two tubes. One of which brings in the fluid and the other transports the fluid together with the drilled chips away from the area being drilled.

The special fluid used to eject these residues is similarly used to cool the equipment. This given that the tool, under such pressurized environments, usually tends to be overheated. It is advised to check on the characteristics of the tools coolant holes before choosing to purchase the tool. This as poor characteristics tend to create poor performances.

Apart from supplying the various industrial sectors with the needed materials, the development of this process has similarly seen an accrual of several other advantages. Most notable being the creation of employment opportunities for a variety of trained individuals. This being for both technicians, project developers, managers and product deliverers.

Nonetheless, tools involved in such processes usually tend to break down while in use. Problems leading to such breakdowns in most cases can be pointed to specific causes therefore making it easier to create the needed solutions. Most common of these problems is the retaining of cut chips within the tools cutting edge, which can be pointed to a reduction in the fluids flow within the tools tubes. Frequent breakages of the tool on the other hand would point to poorly calculated speeds and feed.

Given the variety of purposes that the process can be put to use for, and this by both the medical field and the fuel and energy industry, it is evident that the process plays a great role towards humans development. Similarly, the process developments would not be possible without the current centurys good technology.
