precision broaching

Versatility, efficiency, and precision are the traits that make Ohio Broach succeed.

The Ohio Broach & Machine Company uses its expertise and talent in the broaching field to keep businesses across the continent competitive. A machining technique that removes material with a toothed tool, broaching is much in demand as a valued manufacturing service. So the Ohio Broach team has mastered precision broaching with versatility and efficiency. For more than six decades, these traits have keep the company at the top of its field.

Tools in top operating condition

Why is broaching so popular in the industrial world? Because it offers high precision consistently over repeated cycles. To maintain a high level of precision broaching, the tools have to be kept sharp and in peak operating condition. Ohio Broach offers broach sharpening, repair, and reconditioning services on customers’ tools to maintain high quality.

Broaching tools are shaped like saws, with the exception that the teeth increase in height along each tool’s length. The tool has three sections for different stages of the broaching process: rough machining, semi-finishing, and finishing. A large part of precision broaching consists of varying the tooth design on the tools to meet the requirements of the work piece. Broaching can produce irregular shapes, keyways, non-circular holes, flat surfaces, teeth, and serrations. Operators can perform this on castings, forgings, stampings, screw machine parts, and other work pieces. This has enabled success with many Ohio Broach projects, from medical implants and shaft slots to hand tools.

Another part of versatility in broaching is the variety of materials that it can process. Broaching is most compatible with materials less than Rc 30, like brass, aluminum, or low carbon steel. But it also works for harder materials like titanium or stainless steel. The company uses machines that can handle a broad range of material, such as bronze, copper, graphite, hard rubber, wood composites, and some plastics.

Because of its precision, versatility, and efficiency, broaching is an important process for many manufacturing companies. With these advantages, Ohio Broach continues to provide top broaching solutions in many industries, from aerospace through oil and gas to the automotive sector.
