High Performance Cutting Tools for Composite Materials
GP provides Leading Edge Technology in drilling and machining
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced
Polymers (GFRP) materials. GP provides you solution for stack”
layered materials comprised of Carbon or Glass Fiber to metals such
as Aluminum, Titanium, or Stainless Steel.
Carbide Composite Drill ( 8 facet drills )
1.Proven design of unique drill point geometry reduces thrust and
torque.Lowers cutting temperatures and reduces delamination and
splintering.
2.Designed for drilling both Composite and Composite/Aluminum
materials
3.Carbide (coatings available upon request) with coating option,
for increased tool life and reduced cost per hole
4.Internal coolant option also available.
Composite Hand Drill ( one shot drill/reamer, straight flute )
1.For hand drilling application, provides smooth breakthrough when
compared with conventional drills
2.Reduced risk of delamination and splintering
3.Good Quality holes, for CFRP + CFRP stack application
PCD Tipped Drills
1.Reduces cutting forces
2.Eliminate delamination and splintering
3.Increased productivity with higher speeds and feeds
4.Achieve superior hole surface finish and quality
5.Longer tool life
6.reduced cost per hole
PCD Reamers
1.Manufactured to precise tolerances
2.Used when precise hole accuracy, concentricity, and roundness are
required.
PCD countersinks
1.Longer tool life against traditional carbide countersinks
2.Available with Integrated Pilot or Replaceable pilot to enable
numerous pilot diameters to be used with the same countersink
PCD & Carbide End Mills & Routers
1.For High speed milling and Routing of highly abrasive materials
2.Rigid design reduces chatter and improve component surface finish
3.Significant increase in tool life over carbide milling cutters
4.Straight flute and angled flute designs are available
Engineered Specials
GP offer the expertise and flexibility needed to evolve with
today’s changing market requirement.
Machining application differs greatly from customer to customer,
and composite stack material presents many challenges. GP works in
partnership with each supplier to ensure that each customer
receives optimized tooling solution for each individual
application.
Each tailored solution involves an extensive amount of development
work on cutting tool geometry, material substrates, and various
coating options.
Long term project success entails, careful selection and testing of
the drilling and machining process, and normally involves extensive
testing, then small batch production, eventually leading to
Specific designed drilling process, combining power tools with
unique tooling solutions to successfully meet specific customer
application requirements.
