Drilling - Import export

This modern machining technology offers a host of advantages over more conventional processes. STEEC makes available to its customers its know-how in micro drilling by spark erosion. The principle of this machining process is the same as for wire spark erosion, except that the tool used for cutting is no longer a wire but an electrode shaped according to the precision machining require. The part and the tool (electrode) are not therefore in contact with each other, in fact it is an electric arc formed between the electrode and the part that will machine the latter. This is also called sparking. The part must be necessarily be conducting to be able to be machined by this method and it is prerequisite for using this method. This absence of contact between the tool and the part makes it possible to machine very hard materials such as titanium for example.

At its 4 CN machining centres STEEC drills and taps holes of very small dimensions down to diameters of a few tenths of microns. STEEC carries out micro-drilling work on conventional machining centres. STEEC is able to machine parts in small and medium series or units parts that may have several tens of thousands of holes per parts. The company has acquired know-how and expertise recognized by multiple audits by major contractors in this technology. These audits have also led to special prestigious certifications. This technical solution may be applied in all industrial sectors, from aerospace to the medical sector, also including research or the automotive industry.

SuperChannel Bender XP automatically performs the edges of your letters from coils of aluminum, stainless steel, profiles and other materials 0.6 to 1.6 mm thick and 20 to 200 mm high ( see table of characteristics). The flat bands are folded thanks to: a tool of reinforcement folds (Flange Tool) facilitating the fixing of the bottom of the letters to the edges. a grooving tool allowing the bending of acute angles. a new innovative hole-drilling system (Punching Tool) for direct riveting of the strip on the bottom. Coupled with the automatic management of an Overlap and the use of pre-lacquered strips, this machine allows you to save the usual operations of welding the base and painting the edge!
