Labor...when quality matters !
Supplying drill bits is no rocket science , but supplying a high quality drill bit is a complex story.
In order to produce a high quality tool you need to control more than just production.
To reach the final result you need to go through several stages.
It all start with getting the right raw-material(base-material).
1. Mining and getting the ore out of the ground is a complex process that needs professionalism and
patience.
2. Than the ore is purified so that it can be used in a blast plant to mix different ore together to make the
perfect alloy. This is a world sized process because Labor uses materials shipped in from Europe, Asia
and Africa (mainly Cobalt). In the blast plant materials are mixed with perfection sometimes as precise as
0,1 % part of the total alloy. Wrongly mixed or defective alloys can lead to production problems and
problems in the field of use later on with the end-user. Even when the rest of the process is perfect still a
wrong (or cheap) alloy will result in a inferior product.
3. Labor only uses a fully automated production process in order to make all the tools the same all the
time. Roll forging and grounding machines are all CNC-controlled (computer controlled) to make the
perfect drill or holesaw. The geometry of a drill for example is slightly tapered and to make this absolutely
perfect and in accordance with the DIN-standards this must be done with computer controlled machines.
4. Finishing the product is also a key part of the whole process. Whether it is heat treatment or an oil-bath
or an other process that follows. For example to create the same hardness and material density we only
use computer controlled vacuum chambers that will heat and cool down the tools using the same
curve for every product so the product is repeatedly consistent.
Producing drills is no rocket science but it takes more than just grinding metal.
