Gun Drilling Demonstrator

BENEFITS The use of an adaptive control in gun drilling allows increasing the

productivity and the process reliability. As process behavior changes significantly during manufacturing, and

adaptation of controller parameters is essential to achieve the optimum in performance. The objective is to machine at the tool’s load limit.

For Bosch large scale injector pipe manufacturing is the main field of application while CRF is mainly interested in drilling crankshafts

The simulation contributes a quick analysis of tool load limits whithout raising test costs.

The availability of production machines increases as initial tool tests can be reduced or generally avoided.
