TriboMAM Drilling System At A Glance
TriboMAM is a brand new way to drill on center holes on CNC lathes, turning centers, swiss screw machines, and now live machines. It consists of a drilling actuator that fits in your current tool holding system just like an ER collet extender, and an embedded controller which easily sits on top of your machine. Gun drilling and deep hole drilling greatly benefit from Modulation Assisted Machining (MAM) as fine chips are created from the highly controlled actuator motion of up to 1,000Hz.
Over 200 TriboMAMs Installed In 17 Countries
Deep Hole Drilling
Whether you are using gun drills or twist drills, our customers see the most dramatic improvements when drilling deep holes with lengths of 10x the hole diameter or longer.
The Biggest Names In Medical, Automotive, Energy
Some of the largest companies in medical, automotive, and energy use TriboMAM to achieve big gains in their manufacturing operations. Ask them why TriboMAM and they say because it helps them make more money and make the difficult parts in less time.
Eliminate Expensive Cannulated Stock
Long lead times, nearly 10x the cost, and more expensive waste. Many times the challenge of moving away from cannulated stock is being able to efficiently and reliably drill deep holes... that's where TriboMAM can help.
