MDM Stud Disintergration
Orbital Tool Technologies continues to employ state-of-the-art technology through our metal disintegration machines (MDM), which today, are considered to be some of the most powerful units available anywhere in the world today.
Orbital Tool Technologies can completely remove a three-inch diameter stud,
5-1/2" deep, in less than 4-1/2 hours with no damage to the housing. Pins, studs and bolts in all shapes and sizes of any metal manufactured in the world today can be removed safely and effectively utilizing the Orbital Tool MDM process.
For more information, give us a call at 1-800-607-2838 to arrange a visit to one of our locations for a demonstration on the MDM technology.
Benefits
The MDM Stud Disintegrator has a track record of success in thousands of extractions worldwide and is the most effective extraction tool in the world.
Overview
Orbital Tool's MDM Stud Disintegrator removes galled studs in about 40% less time than traditional methods.
It’s not only much faster - it’s much safer to work with and prevents damage caused to bore threads and housings.
Portable and easy to use in the field, the MDM machine has a vibrating, low voltage, electrode that rapidly “eats away the stud” so it can be easily removed. Operating at ambient temperature, there is none of the usual heat built up and physical damage caused by traditional methods. The MDM process can be used on rounds, square stock or hex stock and bolts of virtually any size.

Stud Disintegration - How It Works
 Using graphite, moly, copper or aluminum, depending on the type of burn required, the machine becomes a high energy, low voltage, thermal shock producing source. The electrode in the machine vibrates up and down 3,600 times a minute. Each time the electrode touches the piece to be burned, an arc is struck. The arc has a point of contact temperature of approximately 5,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
A constant supply of fresh water is pumped down through the electrode causing the molten metal to thermally break down, at the same time flushing the thermally shocked metal back out the discharge hole. The discharged pieces are normally less than 10 microns in size (less than a grain of sand). The water also acts as a heat exchanger, i.e. the only portion to get hot is the small area that the tip of the  electrode contacts, unlike drilling where heat from the bit transfers to the matted portion. The MDM maintains everything at ambient temperature, except what needs to be removed.
Orbital Tool Technologies can remove any size, or burn any configuration, from 40 thousandths of an inch to three inches in diameter in one pass. Larger studs or holes can be made using multiple passes. On average, the MDM is about 40% faster than conventional drilling, and even glazed or hardened studs or bolts are removed with no problem with the MDM.
