Extend the service life of your machinery with boring
Have the bearing seats or fitting holes in your machine become worn or damaged? We can use boring to restore these holes precisely to the correct dimensions, ensuring your machinery operates reliably once again. This technique makes it possible to correct wear and tear without having to replace entire components. This extends the service life of your machine and prevents unnecessary downtime.
What is boring and how does it work?
Like other forms of metalworking, boring is a machining technique in which material is removed in a controlled manner. In this process, the tool rotates whilst the workpiece remains stationary, ensuring that the bore is machined with precision. In this way, we restore holes to the required dimensions and fit. The machining is carried out with great care to prevent further wear or deviations. Boring can be applied to a wide range of metals and plastics, depending on your system and application.
Boring in various industries
Boring is used in industries where machinery is subjected to heavy loads and wear and tear is inevitable. If bores or fitted holes show deviations, this can have a direct impact on performance and safety. Some sectors in which boring plays an important role are:
- Mechanical engineering: for repairing bearing seats and bores within complex installations;
- Bulk loading: for the reconditioning of heavily used components that must continue to function accurately;
- Heavy industry: for repairing wear and tear without having to replace entire components;
- Maintenance and overhaul: to extend the service life of existing machinery and structures.
Other metalworking processes
At Veenstra Technology, we combine various forms of metalworking within a single production process. Once your requirements are clear, we will advise you on the most efficient approach. In doing so, we take into account the application, the load and the required dimensions. Other metalworking techniques we can assist with include:
