Orbital Portable M-Series
The Orbital Drilling Concept
One Tool – Different hole sizes
Smaller, easier-to-remove chips
Novator’s patented orbital drilling technology is based on simultaneously rotating
a cutting tool around its own axis and a
center axis that is offset from the cutting
tool’s axis.
Orbital Portable M-Series has a manually
adjustable offset of the cutting tool. By
changing the offset, different hole sizes can
be made with one single tool.
Burrless and delamination-free holes
The orbital drilling cutter has only partial
and intermittent contact with the material.
That, together with efficient air cooling
of the cutting tool and the hole surface,
­enables dry drilling or quasi-dry drilling,
which requires MQL. Efficient heat extraction also reduces risk of matrix melting
in composites and heat-affected zones in
metal.
Orbital drilling reduces chip-induced ­damage.
Novator’s tools have a smaller ­diameter than
the hole and produce ­smaller chips that are
efficiently removed in an advanced airflow
system. Efficient chip extraction also enables
drilling in closed sections.
The orbital technology allows Orbital
Portable M-Series to use a low thrust force.
Lower force in combination with orbital
movement of the cutter produces burrless
holes in metal. Lower thrust also enables
drilling of delamination-free holes in composite ­materials, and risk of part deflection is
­reduced when drilling in stacks.
