Electro Arc Metal Disintegrators and tap removers

METAL DISINTEGRATORS

 

ELECTRO ARC's patented process removes broken-off taps and drills in seconds . . .

Photos above & left show how the Electro Arc process disintegrates only the center out of a broken tap. And because the cut is continuously flushed with coolant, not even the tap's threads are heated up. Once the center is cut out, the tap's cutting flutes are easily removed from the hole.

 

Much more than a tap and drill remover...

Cut hexagon shapes for Allen wrenches to remove broken studs or bolts.

Remove frozen studs by cutting two cylindrical holes as shown. Insert a pin in each hole and turn out the stud. Or cut a series of holes across the diameter and cut the stud in half.

 

 

Plus:

  • Emboss identification on steel rolls
  • Drill and counterbore hardened steel
  • Re-center hardened shafts
  • Cut internal crossholes in hard material
  • Cut starter holes in hardened die steels for wire EDM
  • Cut ejector pin holes in die steel
  • Cut dovetails in hardened die steel

 

A clean cut with no damage to the workpiece...

Metal Disintegrators

Because the high temperature arc between the electrode, the workpiece is continuously quenched by the pressure coolant, there is no annealing of material around the hole. The hole created by the arc takes the same shape as the electrode used.

Use any conductive material
Any tubing material that conducts an electrical current can be used as an electrode. However, ELECTRO ARC molybdenum electrodes are recommended because their high melting point, low erosion, and high conductivity deliver maximum performance.
