M4 Sciences offers its next-generation TriboMAM drilling system based on modulation-assisted machining (MAM) technology. The system is said to enable drilling as much as five times faster than conventional approaches in diameters ranging from 0.2 to 12.0 mm, as well as to provide improved surface finishes. The unit can be integrated into existing machines and processes, and installs in less than one hour, the company says.
The drilling system features a new micro-controller that is half the size of the previous generation, as well as process-level feedback capabilities such as real-time diagnostics and process stability monitoring. The micro-controller monitors the drilling process to increase reliability of CNC machines in applications for the medical, automotive, hydraulic and energy manufacturing sectors.
