Glowdrill

Glowdrill GmbH is a German company that has been manufacturing friction drills for industrial needs for over 20 years. The friction drills developed by the company have gained widespread popularity, particularly because they are exceptionally well-suited for thin sheets and thin-walled tubes and beams, where traditionally it has been challenging to machine threaded holes. Glowdrill's solutions offer efficiency and reliability for industrial companies and machine shops that need to produce threaded holes in thin materials, for example in the automotive and furniture industries, as well as in the manufacture of heating, refrigeration, and air conditioning equipment.

Glowdrill's friction drilling tools are designed to work efficiently in various materials, including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. The friction drilling method is chip-free, meaning that no chips are produced during processing, which reduces material waste and improves workplace safety. The friction drill raises the temperature of the workpiece with friction heat, allowing the material to be penetrated quickly and precisely, forming a collar that enables easy thread formation. This is particularly useful for thin sheet and tubular products.

Glowdrill also offers friction drills with a collar to create sealing levels, for instance, for pneumatic and hydraulic connectors. This versatility makes the method cost-effective as it reduces the need for separate fastening accessories such as rivets or welded nuts, simplifying production processes.

The company's operations combine decades of experience and deep technical knowledge, enabling the provision of reliable and efficient products to customers. Glowdrill’s product development is driven by a passion to find solutions that support the optimization of production processes for industrial and machine shop companies. Glowdrill products achieve a high price-to-quality ratio while meeting the individual needs of customers.

Camcut serves as the official importer of Glowdrill friction drills, providing availability and support for these high-quality tools to industrial companies worldwide. This partnership ensures that Glowdrill's advanced friction drilling technology is widely available to machine shops and other industrial companies looking to improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality.
