Lübbering’s Sine-Feed Simplifies Complex Multi-layer Drilling for Aerospace

by | Sep 3, 2024 | Tools, Drilling, Lübbering

A Small Add-on Makes a Big Difference!

In drilling processes where the Sine-Feed option is used, an axial spindle vibration is generated by means of a periodic low frequency. This, in combination with a constant spindle advance of the automated drilling unit, generates smaller chips which are easily removed. The result is a cleaner hole and outstanding chip removal.

What’s the impact of this small, incremental add-on?

  • One shot drilling and countersinking
  • Perfect hole surface quality
  • Easily removed micro chips, even on piloted holes
  • Dry cutting in Al/CFRP stacks is doable
  • Durable: low heat evolution, particularly for thick stacks.
  • Minimized impact of drill transition from a CFRP layer to titanium.

This totally focused mission on achieving the best possible outcome for customers like you is what sets Lübbering apart.

Still not convinced? Watch the video, then call to learn why Lübbering is aerospace’s #1 choice when hole quality truly matters.

The generated sine wave changes long shards into easily removable, small chips.

TIPS

Test and adhere to established industry standards: Tightening torque Nm, according to ISO 898/1 / ISO 5393 represents a common platform for the assembly tool manufacturers and users to evaluate the performance of assembly tools.

Test their knowledge of standard tightening issues like ‘hard clamp’ and ‘soft clamp’ and “mean shift.”  Plus use of a

Breadth of product offerings. TIghtening tools have different benefits based on application. If offerings are limited, or the agant recommends ‘one tool for all’, think again. Pulse tools with medium accuracy or more expensive transducerized nutrunners every application, run away
