About Tibo Tiefbohrtechnik
TIBO Tiefbohrtechnik GmbH, based in Pfullingen (Baden-Württemberg), has been developing and manufacturing deep hole drilling machines for highly specific applications since 1994. The machines are assembled in a modular fashion from field-proven system components according to the company's own modular system and tailored to the respective application. The portfolio includes single-flute deep hole drilling machines for drilling diameters from 2 to 40 mm with drilling depths up to 4,500 mm, BTA deep hole drilling machines for solid drilling from 18 to 250 mm (counterboring up to 400 mm) with drilling depths up to 12,000 mm, and cross-slide deep hole drilling machines of the KTE series, which combine deep hole drilling, face milling and thread tapping in one machine. In addition, Tibo offers drift drawing and honing machines, automation solutions, accessories and spare parts as well as services ranging from design to delivery and installation to training, maintenance and remote maintenance. The machines are used, among other things, in medical and aerospace engineering, the oil and gas industry, shipbuilding, and tool and mould making, and are delivered worldwide, for example to China, Dubai, Australia, Singapore, Mexico and the USA. As a rule, four to six months elapse between order placement and delivery.

Processes & Technology
Single-flute deep hole drilling
For drilling diameters 2–40 mm with drilling depths up to 4,500 mm; coolant supply through channels in the tool shank, high accuracy and drilling quality for delicate applications.
BTA deep hole drilling
For solid drilling 18–250 mm (counterboring up to 400 mm) and drilling depths up to 12,000 mm; coolant supply under pressure via an annular gap with a drilling oil feed unit (BOZA).
Cross-slide deep hole drilling
Multi-function machine for deep hole drilling, face milling and thread tapping, especially for tool and mould making as well as prototype and jig construction.
Peeling & burnishing
Additional machining processes on BTA deep hole drilling machines.
Pull counterboring
Additional machining processes on BTA deep hole drilling machines.
Trepanning
Additional machining processes on BTA deep hole drilling machines.
Face milling
Machining process of the KTE cross-slide deep hole drilling machine.
Thread tapping
Machining process of the KTE cross-slide deep hole drilling machine.
Drift drawing
Machine type in the product portfolio for machining bores.
Honing
Honing machines in the product portfolio for fine machining of bores.
Modular system
Modular system components allow the machine to be tailored precisely to the application; typically 4–6 months until delivery.
Automation
Optional automatic loading and unloading systems as well as TWIN-Unit configurations with up to twelve simultaneously working spindles.
