Drill and Countersink Uneven Surfaces without Marking



HEULE Tool offers the COMP V3, which is specifically engineered to perform multiple drilling and countersinking operations on uneven surfaces with precision, and without marking the workpiece. This adjustable tool can be used for drilling and countersinking or countersinking only.

COMP V3 is designed to enhance productivity by eliminating the inconsistency associated with manual countersinking and save significant cycle time. A nonrotational contact foot prevents marking of the workpiece during operation, making it suited for critical finishes. This tool offers fine adjustments to the chamfer depth of 0.0008" (0.02 mm), and a drill depth of up to 2xD with through coolant capabilities. Heule COMP V3 produces clean, precise countersinks in a variety of materials including aluminum, titanium, and composites, making it a fit for critical aircraft components like seat rails, floorboards, structural components, aluminum wheels, and high-value aluminum castings.

The tool features double compensation technology for precision and finer adjustments; the contact ring compresses as the hole is drilled, and then the contact ring holder compresses after the predetermined countersink depth is reached. This technology allows a part variant of +/-3.75 mm with height increments of +.02 mm. It is engineered for aerospace applications and others where super critical finishes are required.

How it works: COMP V3 tooling includes an adjustment ring, a contact ring holder, a contact ring, and the solid carbide step drill. In step 1, the tool head makes contact with the workpiece. As the solid carbide step drill drills the hole, the contact ring moves up. The drill continues working until the preset countersink depth is reached. When the countersink reaches maximum depth, the contact ring holder and contact ring move up together as the drill stays stationary. The drill is then removed, leaving a finished part.

COMP V3 is spring loaded and designed to cut a specific countersink size. Once the specific size chamfer is produced, the face of the tool stops rotation while making contact with the part, and the cutter cannot travel further into the part. Utilizing a highly efficient threaded system for quick changes between drill and countersink operations streamlines the workflow. Each COMP tool is tailored to customer specifications, leveraging common components to enable easy integration into existing systems.
