The BTA or STS self-piloting drilling process for larger holes is able to create bores from Ø18mm up to 100 or more times length-to-diameter ratios. Through Mollart Engineering and its tooling partner Botek, the Chessington based deep hole drilling specialist will provide application engineering support involving drill heads up to Ø1,000mm.
Due to the different tool head types, each providing a more effective deep hole production solution over conventional drilling and boring, they need to be configured and applied to optimise results. In order to provide this level of support, Mollart Engineering has created its BTA Application Centre based in Chessington with two ‘local’ regional specialists in the Midlands and North of England to also provide direct support to customers in Scotland. The new centre is also able to draw upon Mollart’s expertise in advanced deep hole machine tool development and build, tooling and sub-contract manufacture.
