Manufacturing precision through ECM rifling
Electrochemical machining (ECM) has established itself as a key technology for precision manufacturing in weapons manufacturing.
The ECM rifling process in particular represents a significant advance in the manufacture of high-precision internal geometries for rifled barrels. This innovative technology enables unparalleled dimensional accuracy while reducing manufacturing complexity.
Unlike conventional processes, ECM rifling offers decisive technological advantages while keeping capital investments low. The material-friendly machining without mechanical or thermal stress results in a longer service life and higher precision of the manufactured gun barrels.
The modular ECM rifling concept
The EMAG ECM system is based on a highly developed technology concept that was designed specifically for precision rifling. The components that determine quality are integrated into the rifling module, which can be flexibly implemented in the modular PI ECM machine.
Production capacity can be optimally adapted to manufacturing requirements by using different module configurations:
- Double module: Simultaneous machining of two barrels
- Eightfold module: Parallel production of eight barrels for maximum productivity
The innovative tool cathode of the ECM rifling system produces the desired internal geometry of the barrel with maximum precision. The process allows exceptional flexibility in the realization of different rifling geometries:
- Polygonal rifling for optimized gas sealing
- Progressive rifling configurations for improved flight stability
- Conventional rifling with customized parameters
