In this demonstration, the FlexCNC machining center drills 181 holes through two stacked plates of SA516 Grade 70 carbon steel, totaling 6 inches of material thickness.
The operation was performed using a 1β15/32" @KennametalInc KSEM drill running at 780 RPM with a feed rate of 11.7 IPM, all completed in a single setup with no repositioning.
SA516 Grade 70 is a common material for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, header boxes, and other heavy fabrication components, making this demonstration highly relevant for oil & gas fabrication applications.
FlexCNC machining centers are designed to handle large and heavy plates, long tooling, and repetitive operations, providing fabrication shops with the flexibility and reliability needed for the energy sector.
