German marksmanship

Manufacturing a precision rifle barrel requires total process reliability. The barrel is deep-drilled and then reamed with combined multi-spindle Tibo deep-hole drilling/reaming E-series machines to provide the required accuracy.

Next, the rifling process is carried out its DR series rifling machines. Through the rifling in the barrel, the projectile is set in rotation around its longitudinal axis on its path from the chamber to the muzzle and is stabilised in its trajectory as it exits the barrel.

With Tibo's DR-series rifling machines, the touch panel control can be operated easily and intuitively. Different rifling gradients and lengths can be programmed and stored in memory for recurring orders. The DR-series is available in diameter ranges up to 40mm and for different barrel lengths up to 4,000mm and for rifling forces up to 200,000N.
