Increased productivity by high speed drilling.

Abstract

The paper gives a comprehensive overview of present possibilities and limitations in drilling and reaming with high cutting speeds. Different kinds of tools and material groups are investigated. The results of the research projects concerning high speed drilling (HSD) and reaming of the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools (PTW) at the Darmstadt Technical University confirmed a high potential concerning production accuracy, reduced main times and effectiveness. Furthermore, new possibilities of tool development are presented which are stronger based upon computational methods.
