In machining, boring is the process of enlarging
a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point
cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in
boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder.
According to the plant's public relations and international
affairs department, the project was carried out with the consultation of a
knowledge-based company in Khuzestan, southwestern Iran.
The facility upgraded the machine from manual to
5-axis CNC, and carried out designing, manufacturing and installing of facing
head for tube sheet cutting of heat exchangers in less than 3 months.
The return on investment of the project will be
one month.
