Efficient metalworking with modular drilling systems<\/h2>\n

From individual parts and small series production to the finishing and reworking of metal parts: The company Kurt Metallverarbeitung from Remscheid manufactures various components for large-scale industry, such as spare parts for presses, cranes or excavators. Reliable tools that deliver the best machining results and maximum efficiency are essential. This is why the company focusses on modular drilling systems that impress with their high flexibility and savings potential.<\/p>\n

Challenges when changing drill heads<\/h2>\n

However, when it comes to the practical application of modular drills, there is one crucial component that must not be missing: easy handling when changing the drill head. Director Samet Kurt also knows this: \u201cBefore the BT 800 from G\u00fchring, we were using a competitor\u2019s modular drilling system, which also allows drill heads to be changed directly in the machine without a screw.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this system, the drill head and carrier were connected using assembly keys with slotted engagement points. However, practical experience revealed shortcomings: \u201cThe drill head often got stuck in the tapered interface. Because it then had to be removed with a lot of force, it was easy to slip and damage the sheath,\u201d recalls Samet Kurt. \u201cSome drill heads were unusable after the change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quick change thanks to bayonet lock<\/h2>\n

G\u00fchring sales representative Ralf Hirschfeld then presented his customer with the modern BT 800 interchangeable head drilling system, a further development in the field of modular drills. The centrepiece of the BT 800 is the wear-resistant bayonet interface.<\/p>\n

Compared to the previous system, the mounting key now engages in the flute, enabling the drill head to be changed quickly, precisely and safely without damaging the cutting head. The head is securely clamped without any play with a simple rotary movement \u2013 this not only increases safety, but also significantly minimises downtimes and set-up times.<\/p>\n

Successful test use in manufacturing<\/h2>\n

Samet Kurt tests the modular solution while drilling a cog made from C45 quenched and tempered steel (1.0503), which will later be used in disc cutters. The through-holes with a depth of 10 mm were milled on a Haas VF-1 \u2013 ideal for use with the BT 800 interchangeable head drill. The result is convincing across the board: \u201cThe quick-change system from G\u00fchring is simply better,\u201d says Kurt. \u201cThere are no problems when changing the drill heads \u2013 handling is simple and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

65 % more tool life and reduced machining times<\/h2>\n

But it\u2019s not just the operation that is impressive: the BT 800 modular drill also sets new scales in terms of performance. \u201cWe were able to increase the tool life by 65% and reduce the machining time by more than half,\u201d reports Samet Kurt. Ralf Hirschfeld adds: \u201cThe easy handling, long tool life and strong performance make the BT 800 a real economical alternative to solid carbide drills \u2013 especially in the field of economical metalworking with modular drilling systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
