Machining where the drill head rotates both about its own axis and about the hole center axis. Beskrivning The process The tool rotates about its own axis at a high speed and at low speed in a spiral motion around the hole center axis. Cut material is removed by chip breaking. The operation is usually carried out vertically so as to have the chips continuously sucked up so it’s not packed around the tool. Chip breaking The way in which a chip breaks Read more Orbital drilling Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Drastically increases the precision of the hole Lower pressure force results in holes with fewer degrees when drilling metals When drilling in composites it eliminates the problem of delamination slow process
