What is Deep hole drilling (tube sheet)?

Deep hole drilling (tube sheet) capability for titanium components

Integrated manufacturing capability for Deep hole drilling (tube sheet), supported by in-house QC, material certification, and engineering review.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Laser drilling of titanium uses pulsed laser energy to create precise holes through percussion or trepanning methods. Hole diameters range from 0.05 mm to 3 mm with aspect ratios up to 20:1, specifically for tube. Deep tube for Chemical, Aerospace, Medical present unique challenges: Wall thickness uniformity (±0.05 mm) over long lengths. Internal surface finish Ra < 0.8 µm for fluid flow. Bent tube ovality control.

Parameter Primary Method Alternative Method
Hole Diameter 0.05-3 mm 0.5 mm min (abrasive)
Aspect Ratio Up to 20:1 3:1
Speed 0.1-2 sec/hole (percussion) N/A
