Aerospace Assembly Fastener Tool

The HiPACS drilling and countersinking tool is a unique high-precision system, achieving 1-degree angular countersink tolerances in aerospace fastener hole applications.

Designed to be clamped in a standard hydraulic chuck, HiPACS consists of 3 standard off-the-shelve components:

• The HiPACS reducer sleeve, featuring a built-in high-precision pocket seat for a countersinking insert.
• The HiPACS PCD countersinking insert
• The HiPACS solid carbide drills with SPF and DAL point geometry.

This easy to assemble system reduces cost per hole since drill and chamfer insert can be indexed independently from another. Replaces expensive custom solution step drill, separates tool life and cost of insert and drill.

Features and Benefits

• The straight shank enables length adjustment of 10mm. 
• SPF PCD-tipped drill for CFRP.
• SPF diamond coated carbide drill for CFRP.
• DAL PCD-tipped drill for CFRP stacks with metal exit and non-ferrous materials.
• DAL Diamond coated carbide drill for CFRP stacks with metal exit.
• True 360-degree clamping through hydraulic chuck clamping mechanism. Cost effective solution, easy and fast to assemble.
• High precision system to drill and chamfer in one operation. Designed to be clamped in a standard hydraulic chuck.
• PCD-tipped drills provide best tool life in stable conditions with high runout accuracy, for example on gantry machines and machining centers.
• Diamond coated carbide drills offer competitive tool life in less stable conditions like on robot end effectors.
• The HiPACS reducer sleeve, featuring a built-in high-precision pocket seat for a countersinking insert.
