The global energy industry is experiencing rapid digitalization, sustainability goals, consumer and corporate shifts, engineering breakthroughs, and the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With challenges come opportunities for bold, forward-thinking advancements.
Take lightweight materials, for example. Many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are banking on lighter components to slash energy consumption. However, lightweight materials rivalling steel in performance can impede the budget—costing many times more. That’s not sustainable or scalable.
Engineers are trying to discover ways to integrate lighter, stronger materials into energy manufacturing and power generation processes while ensuring safety, cost-effectiveness, and usability.
It’s not only about throwing out the old—it’s about striking the perfect balance between innovation and practicality.
Welcome to the new era of energy solutions.
This crucial component interfaces between a wind turbine’s rotor hub and blade. It requires a series of holes drilled around the diameter of the ring. Since shops produce the connecting rings in large quantities, saving time on each drilling cycle is critical.
Panther application-specific drills cater to your needs. They’re ideal for pre-drilling bores before tapping and reaming applications. For instance, they can prepare hydraulic ports with multiple diameters for threading while ensuring process security and repeatability.
There are several different shafts of various lengths and diameters in a gearbox. All are made of steel with high strength and hardness.
Our Infinite Possibilities solution-based tooling program makes creating the optimal tool for cutting gears possible. The improved production and efficiency easily cover the modest cost increase.
Drilling precise holes in the main shaft is always a technical challenge, but we are up to it. With years of drilling experience, you can rest assured that our tools will do the job. Furthermore, our technical specialists will be there to assist you with solutions.

Power plants are the workhorses turning fossil fuels like coal and oil—or alternatives like biomass and wood—into electricity. The process? It’s all about creating hot steam. This steam comes from boiler systems, where heat exchangers, such as smooth-tube or finned-tube air pre-heaters, play a crucial role. And we’re not just talking power plants here—heat exchangers are the unsung heroes across the oil, gas, and nuclear industries. Simple, efficient, critical.
Our Lynx drills have PVD coatings specially formulated for small-diameter drills, resulting in high durability and long life for carbon steel, alloy, die, and stainless steel applications.
