When OSG recommended the 10mm diameter ADF-2D for one-step drilling, Asia Precision’s Senior Manager Prasit Mulgunee welcomed the opportunity in hopes of improving work efficiency.
Unlike conventional drills, OSG’s ADF carbide flat drill is capable of creating holes in inclined and contoured surfaces without requiring a start hole. The ADF's unique balanced form and cutting edge enable reduced cutting forces with smaller chips and stable hole entry with minimal burr. With the addition of OSG’s proprietary EgiAs coating, tool life can be prolonged with excellent heat and wear resistance.
The ADF is engineered for a wide variety of drilling applications, including inclined surfaces, curved surfaces, counterboring, eccentric holes, half-hole and thin plates. It is suitable for common materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, hardened steel up to 35 HRC, and cast iron.
The ADF is able to consolidate the machining process for Asia Precision’s application, completely eliminating the preliminary center drilling operation. The ADF was also tested against a competitor tool for durability. At the end of the trial, the ADF was able to more than double the life of the competitor drill, achieving 500 pieces versus the competitor’s 200 pieces.
“The ADF demonstrated overwhelmingly superior performance versus the previous procedure,” said Siriruk Thammajit, OSG Thailand Sales Representative.
“Asia Precision is now able to combine two operations into one. Taking the time required for tool change, the ADF is able to reduce the processing time by nearly 50%, and our customer couldn’t be more satisfied,” said Thammajit.
As a manufacturer who prides itself as a precision metal component specialist, Asia Precision is always seeking to develop new processing solutions to meet the ever-growing customer requirements. The ADF has proven to be a reliable partner in Asia Precision’s endeavor for improving quality, reducing machining time and simplifying tool management.
