Simplified assembly process with Orbital Drilling

The total production lead times are often drastically reduced with Orbital Drilling since the assembly can be performed in one operation. In an assembly process using conventional drilling you have to go through several time consuming steps including disassembly and reassembling for deburring, separate reaming and cleaning of coolants.

Below is a comparison of a conventional drilling process and a process using Orbital Drilling. The comparison is collected from the publication "Drilling Cost Model" produced by Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.
