Your Source For General Machining Services
Swanson Industries demonstrates the proficiency in manufacturing industrial components through the utilisation of state-of-the-art equipment including CNC milling, turning and deep hole drilling. Our tailored machining technologies offer optimal solutions for a wide range of projects from simple pins and bushes to intricate manifolds.
Deep Hole Drilling Overview
Deep hole drilling is necessary when a hole must be drilled with a ratio greater than 10:1, meaning the depth is more than ten times the diameter. This process typically involves drilling from one end of the workpiece to ensure the creation of straight holes with high precision, meeting a tolerance of IT 10 (an international standard for surface finish), and maintaining a smoothness level of 10µm. At Swanson Industries, we specialise in two deep-hole drilling methods:
- Gun Drilling
- Single Tube System (STS)
Gun drilling Services
The gun drilling process utilises an internal-type cutting fluid supply system and an external chip exit strategy. This cutting-edge approach at exceptionally high pressure through a dedicated channel, ensures effective lubrication and cooling of the advanced and support pads.
Swanson state-of-the-art CNC systems:
- Stationary workpieces and rotating drills.
- Workpieces weighing up to 250 kilograms.
- Hole diameters ranging from 5mm to 30mm.
- Maximum ratio for a gun drill 100:1, with a maximum drilling depth limited to 2.5 meters.
The precision offered by our gun drilling services results in holes that meet exacting standards of straightness, surface finish, and tolerance, ensuring the highest quality and reliability for your components.
STS Drilling and Counterboring
STS Drilling and Counterboring are integral to our machining capabilities. Our process involves a drilling head fast-threaded to a drill tube, and high-pressure cutting fluid is pumped between the drill’s external surface and the hole being drilled. This method effectively transports chips, maintaining the integrity of your workpiece.
Our STS drilling process combines:
- Rotating component and stationary drill.
- Hole sizes ranging from 30mm to 150mm.
- Up to 500mm in diameter
- Up to 6000mm in length
- Up to 10t in weight
Our expertise extends to drilling a variety of materials, including alloy steels, aluminium, stainless steels, and cast iron.
