Micro Drilling Technology for the Medical Industry



Absolute Machine Tools offers the Precihole Micro deep hole drilling machine with capabilities engineered to facilitate production of precision medical implants.

"Gundrilling produces straight, accurate deep holes and is the preferred method of making holes with L/D ratios of 10 or more in medical implants, including cannulated (having through-holes for fluid or wire) intramedullary devices such as nails and screws as well as cannulated drills and other instruments," said a company spokesperson.

The Precihole Micro gundrilling machine employs drill diameters from 1 mm (0.04") to 6 mm (0.25") to produce holes to a depth of 300 mm (12") in components up to 40 mm (1.5") O.D. Two 1.1 kW (1.5 HP) spindles operate at speeds from 1,000 to 25,000 RPM at feedrates ranging from 0 - 1,000 mm/min (0 - 40"/min). The Micro machine's component counter-rotation capability provides enhanced straightness. A selection of features and options includes tool wear and breakage monitoring and multiple tool steadies.

All of the Precihole gundrilling machines provide the benefits of linear motion guideways, high-pressure recirculating coolant systems, centralized automatic lubrication and full machine guarding. A full range of tools and accessories includes gun drills, guide bushings, whip guides and cone locators, as well as tool presetting and regrinding machines.

Precihole machines are exclusively imported by Absolute Machine Tools. Parts and service are available through Absolute and a nationwide network of machine tool distributors.
