Innovation is more than a buzzword at Carlson Company; it's a journey etched into our commitment to continuous improvement. A testament to this dedication is our revolutionary Chord Right CNC Indexing Drill Table, a game-changer in the world of precision engineering that earned us U.S. Patent No. 6948720.
When it came to drilling bolt holes in flanges exceeding 100 inches in diameter and weighing tons, the conventional approach was labor-intensive, time-consuming, and often lacked the required precision. Tolerance requirements of less than 1/32 per inch were elusive. To meet tighter tolerance specifications for bolt-hole spacing, Jim Carlson introduced a groundbreaking solution: the Chord Right CNC Indexing Drill Table.
Securing its U.S. Patent in 2005, the Chord Right represents a paradigm shift. By seamlessly integrating a manual radial arm drill with CNC accuracy, it not only automates the setup process for bolt-hole spacing but also elevates precision to unprecedented levels. The Chord Right isn’t just a tool; it's a technological leap that slashes drilling time and increases accuracy, setting new standards for how bolt circles are drilled.
Capable of accepting up to 20,000 lb. balanced load, the Chord Right achieves accuracy up to three decimal places. Our commitment to CNC innovation is shaping the future of custom flanges with every bolt hole drilled.
