Horizontal Boring & CNC Horizontal Boring by Technox
Horizontal boring machining is a drilling process that allows for more accurate and precise holes to be achieved. These are primarily employed to drill or bore holes in more extensive parts and components or to further enlarge an existing hole in a workpiece to improve their dimensional accuracy.
However, horizontal boring can also be employed in various shapes and sizes of workpieces.
For faster production of high-volume applications, we specialize in CNC horizontal boring. We utilize a cutting-edge horizontal boring center with a computer numerical control unit to fully automate our horizontal boring method’s control, movement, and precision.
Advantages of a CNC horizontal boring mill:
- Complex components in fewer operations
- Better surface finishes
- Create parts that need machining on multiple sides, irregular components, and parts with sizable surface areas
- Longer tooling lives
Primary Difference Between Horizontal vs. Vertical Boring
The main difference between horizontal and vertical boring is that workpieces in horizontal milling centers are stationary. Meanwhile, vertical mills comprise an immobile tool while the workpiece moves. Between the two, a CNC horizontal boring mill offers more flexibility in terms of its tool capability, and it can also be equipped with special tools or options.
With horizontal boring, operators are given more freedom regarding their approach and machining processes. It also guarantees an efficient process, especially for projects that require removing large amounts of chips.
Applications of a CNC horizontal boring machining mill:
- Aircraft components
- Existing workpieces that require grooves, facing, pocketing, or slots
- Cams
- Helicoids
- Gears
