Perfect Point’s revolutionary E-drill harnesses the power of Electro-Discharge Machining (EDM) into a hand-held tool capable of removing even the hardest aerospace fasteners at an unprecedented rate of accuracy and speed. Compared to traditional processes, E-drill yields 20x productivity improvements, drives up first-pass quality, reduces the cost of consumables, increases throughput and protects workers. Adding benefit to the process, the E-drill also produces zero drill shaving/shards and is an ergonomically superior process when compared to the twist-drill.
E-Drill removes the hardest fasteners quickly and easily. The precision-sized electrode cuts a circular groove of material from the fastener head leaving a very thin fracture point between the electrode and the airframe. The exact sizing of the electrode coupled with precision depth control greatly decreases the risk of airframe damage when compared to conventional removal methods. A closed-loop fluid system, consisting of filtered water, flushes the area and removes cut debris. Aggressive flushing during the cut means no heat is transferred to the surrounding area. The forceless cut process significantly reduces the risk of damage to the airframe and repetitive motion injury to the operator. Reduced damage, fast cycle times, and elimination of debris result in efficiencies that mean a very quick return on investment.
