The application centre, which is part of Mollart’s strategic future development programme under ‘Process is our Business’, is supported by tooling partner Botek – a Germany-based leader in solid carbide deep hole drilling tooling and systems.
Says Mollart’s director of tooling Chris Barker: “Correct application support for BTA otherwise known as STS single tube system deep hole drilling process, enables users to benefit from its distinct advantage enabling a single pass to achieve hole size with higher penetration rates than with gundrilling and can be applied across a wide range of materials.
“It also has the advantage of providing high orders of size control, surface finish, hole straightness and bore roundness with excellent chip control and extended tool life when used with quality inserts developed for deep hole drilling.”
Mollart sets up BTA Drilling Application Centre in Chessington
Deep hole drilling specialist Mollart Engineering has extended its support operation for BTA drilling by creating a BTA Application Centre at its Chessington headquarters with two regionally based ‘local’ specialists based in the Midlands and North to also directly support customers in Scotland.
