Micro-Drilling with AXIS Micro drills

Micro-Drilling with AXIS Micro drills Generally creation of very small holes 0.5 millimeters or less is defined as Micro Drilling. Micro-drilling is growing at fast pace as parts and systems are miniaturized and new products are created, especially in the electronics, medical and micro-mechanical.  Many large workpieces also require ultra small holes  This process is significantly different to conventional drilling not only in the size of the holes, but in the methods used to drill them.  Micro holes generally have extreme tight tolerances for depth, diameter, straightness and hole wall finish. Breaking through the threshold of >3.00 mm diameter means that machining get much more precise needing disciplined drill room to make it work well. Micro-drilling requires very controlled work environment and tight process control. Drilling machines that have very high sensitivity and fine resolution in the feed axis. Machines must also have very precise spindles capable
