Step drill production and regrinding with Qg1

All imaginable combinations of standard steps or defined by a DXF form, steps can be programmed in Qg1 in no time and combinations and ground into a step drill. Numerous variations of the step shapes can be added using a drag and drop menu.

It is also possible to import sophisticated geometries as DXF or to draw them directly in Qg1. A predefined template to program steps serves as an guide for the users creating their own drawing. The combination of two subsequent steps was also integrated as a new standard.

The standard integrated 3D process simulation of Qg1 provides a realistic image of the tool before even going to the machine, regardless of how complex it is.

The key to small batch production is the use of the simulated flute, which takes into account both process parameters as well as the current grinding wheel. In the transformation of a straight drill to a step drill, pre-grinding of the steps integrated in all other processes is possible.
