DUOMI CNC delivers advanced solutions designed for high-performance industrial environments, especially for tube, sheet metal, and structural components.
What is a Flow Drilling and Tapping Machine?
A Flow Drilling and Tapping Machine is a specialized CNC system that uses thermal friction to create holes in metal without removing material.
How It Works
High-speed rotating tool generates heat
Material softens and flows instead of being cut
A bushing is formed for deeper thread engagement
Tapping process follows immediately
Key Advantage
Unlike traditional drilling:
No chips are produced
No material waste
Stronger thread formation
Key Benefits of Flow Drilling Technology
1. Increased Thread Strength
The extrusion process forms a collar around the hole, allowing:
2–3x stronger threads
Better load-bearing capacity
2. Higher Production Efficiency
Combined drilling and tapping in one cycle
Reduced tool changes
Faster cycle times
3. Cost Reduction
No need for welding nuts
Less tooling consumption
Lower labor cost
Applications Across Industries
Automotive Industry
Seat frames
Exhaust systems
Structural components
Furniture & Metal Tube Fabrication
Steel pipe drilling and tapping
Modular furniture structures
HVAC & Construction
Sheet metal fastening
Bracket and frame assembly
