Burr-free Countersink for Hermetically Sealed Products

Anyone can control the chamfer size on one side of a part with a through hole.  Most machinist can even do it withou the presence of a burr.  But when it comes to the other side of the part, controlling chamfer size or corner breaks size can be a challenge.  This is especially true for parts that require a .002″ maximum corner break.

For those involved with glass to metal seals, (hemetic seals) you know how important it is to maintain flat, uniform and burr-free surfaces on a part prior to melting the glass.  The larger the chamfer is, the more predominant the meniscal effect becomes.  Whether you are grinding the seal or producing a flat seal, a consistent corner break can only increase the quality of your finished prodct.

Price Manufacturing, Inc. has developed and perfected a multi-fluted counter sinking tool for use on multi-spindle screw machines that actually faces the part, bores the hole and controls the corner break in one operation.  Accompanined by an ingenious self centering tool holder, the multi-tasking contersink tool produces a smooth, burr-free corner the first time and every time.  Send us your blue print and we will explain how our technique can improve your process.
