IMTS 2018 Conference: Ongoing Improvement with Indexable Drill Head Technology & Productivity

Plan to attend The IMTS 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insights into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic

Hole machining productivity can be significantly improved by adopting recent indexable drill head technology. The use of indexable head drills has proven to create many benefits. In addition to increased productivity, fast index with high repeatability reduces operator variables which can result in more machine uptime and increased part throughput. Pat Cline, product manager for ISCAR, a world leader in cutting tool innovation, shares the evolution of the self-clamped indexable head drilling and the benefits of applying the most recent technology. 

Registration is now open, so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information. 

Meet your presenter 

Patrick Cline, a manufacturing industry veteran, has more than 30 years of experience, 25 of which have been with ISCAR. After graduating from the Tarleton State University (Texas A&M System) with a Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Technology, he pursued additional industry training in management, quality, and CAD/CAM systems. He has excelled in many roles throughout his career including machinist, CNC programmer, manufacturing engineer, shop supervisor, engineering manager, tool designer, and cutting tool product manager while being employed at General Dynamics, Boeing Aerospace, Super Conducting Super Collider, and now  ISCAR. Patrick has also spent time working with the Texas Employment Commission and Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center on the “Dream It. Do It.” program inspiring 7th grade students, or next-generation workers, to pursue manufacturing careers. When Patrick is not using his vast knowledge as an industry expert he enjoys flying, riding his motorcycle, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his wife and son.
