Fdrill Friction Drilling & accessories - the cost saving alternative to welded, rivet nuts and other types of attachments.
Economic Benefits
.Chipless forming process: no connecting elements needed
.A single operation for the manufacture of eyelets
.Process can be automated
.A column drill is sufficient: no additional equipment costs
.Minimum setup times
Benefits in practice
.High precision and reproducibility
. Less material and lower weight due to the use of thin profiles
. Counterpieces (e.g. punches / dies, etc.) are not required, thus even profiles
with difficult to access interiors can be processed
. Increase in the drawing forces of threads (thread forming)
.Tightness of the clearance holes
.Only one basic material, thus avoidance of electrochemical corrosion
.High load capacity of bearing bushes
. Material hardening
Ecological Benefits
.High-strength connections can be produced using the centerdrill process without additional materials. The basic material remains unalloyed and easy to recycle! Chip removal is not necessary.
.Fdrill connections are detachable and offer significant advantages for subsequent dismantling compared to other processes.
