Pull Boring Highlights the Capability of Deep Hole Making
Pull boring enables users to achieve remarkable straightness in deep holes. A variation of this technique is also effective when maintaining consistent wall thickness (in long, cast pipes, for example) is top priority.
Because the ability to make deep holes effectively and efficiently is critical in many applications, deep hole technology is one of the most highly developed sectors in metalworking. It covers a diverse range of processes and methodologies. Unisig (Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin), a supplier of machines, tools and automation for deep hole making, says the list of industries it serves includes aerospace, automotive, defense, hydraulics, mold making, oilfield and energy. Yet deep hole making is largely the domain of shops specializing in this capability, whereas technology suppliers such as Unisig believe that a wider awareness of deep hole making processes would alert new users to valuable opportunities.
