Schwanog’s PWP and PWP-D insertable form drill system reduce setup times with an insert holder that stays in the machine during insert change-over. This design keeps the center height unchanged. The insertable carbide tool is ground individually per customer specifications, it can hold a minimum tolerance of ±0.02 mm and the repeatability is 0.02 mm. The systems are available in several carbide grades.
The insertable form drill systems have a maximum bore diameter of 28 mm and a maximum depth of 16 mm. The company also offers solid carbide drills to complement for larger bore sizes and deeper holes. The solid carbide drills are ground individually per customer specifications, and accommodate a minimum tolerance of ±0.02 mm.
