Let Titan Solve Your Production Challenges
Bring your part geometry, material, tolerance, and throughput requirements to Titan EDM’s application engineering team.
A robotic Titan iSeries cell engineered to produce precisely clocked, burr-free safety-wire holes in demanding aerospace fasteners.
Safety lock wires keep structural fasteners secure under severe flight vibration. Their cross-holes must be positioned precisely around the bolt head and clocked to the internal Torx drive geometry.
On high-stength alloys, conventional micro-drills can skid at the curved shoulder, flex on entry, break in the workpiece, or push an exit burr into the drive recess.
A curved, chambered shoulder makes mechanical drills skid, flex, and miss true position.
An exit burr inside the Torx recess can clock driver engagement and scrap a finished fastener.
Inconel, A286, titanium, and 300-series stainless accelerate wear and micro-drill breakage.
All three holes must index precisely relative to the internal recess floor and lobe walls.
Titan combined non-contact EDM drilling, precision indexing, robotic handling, and automatic part alignment into a coordinated turnkey process.
A rigid C-frame, multi-axis control, dialectic filtration, and automatic electrode changing support continuous production.
A precision rotary indexer grips the fastener shank and executes the specified radial pattern in one setup.
A co-bot loads parts while probing locates the physical origin and establishes orientation to the Torx lobes.
Titan iSeries supplies motion, spark control, filtration, and electrode management. Titan extended the platform with rotary indexing, part-orientation logic, and robotic handling engineered around the fastener.
Non-contact spark erosion removes the mechanical causes of drill walk, exit burrs, and cutter breakage while automation makes the pattern predictable at production scale.
The process avoids pushing mechanical burrs into the precision Torx drive geometry.
CNC probing and indexing hold hole position and clocking from fastener to fastener.
Robotic loading and electrode management support long unattended production runs.
