The drilling market is undergoing a transformation, driven by advancements in deep-hole drilling technology and automation. A deep-hole drilling machine is a mechanical gadget used for cutting through metals in very deep and precise holes. These machines are versatile, capable of working with various metals such as alloy and stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, cast iron, and copper alloys. They consist of a cutting tool, or a drill, fixed into the spindle internal taper, enabling high levels of accuracy and depth in drilling operations.

One of the key drivers of growth in the drilling market is rapid industrialization, along with the increasing adoption of automation and advancements in manufacturing processes. These factors are expected to boost the market towards growth, offering enhanced precision and efficiency across diverse industries.

In the medical manufacturing sector, the demand for highly intricate and precise components such as surgical implants and tools is increasing. Conventional machine tool OEMs can assist in producing these components, but only an experienced and capable gundrilling machine OEM with a deep insight into the challenges of stringent medical parts can offer a genuinely efficient solution. Automated gundrilling processes allow manufacturers to overcome challenges and meet demands for higher volumes and cost reductions while improving part quality and easing labor issues.

Mould making is another area where complex geometries with 2D and 3D features require precision and efficiency. The latest series of milling and drilling centers allow manufacturers to drill faster and mill better with a single machine and fewer set-ups. These machines overcome the challenges of milling and gundrilling of all types of metals, delivering high-torque milling capability for aggressive metal removal and shorter cycle times. The integration of state-of-the-art milling technology into these machines has set a new standard for mould finishing, enabling manufacturers to approach their work differently and explore multiple approaches to mould making.
