How IBO Soil Anchor Accessories are Manufactured

What is IBO Drill System?

The most versatile and efficient anchoring system designed, for use in a wide variety of geotechnical projects. For example, rock or soil anchors, micropiles, and self-advancing anchor.

Main components for IBO Drill System:

1. All threaded Hollow Bar Anchor
2. Drill bits, which are selected according to the soil condition.
3. Couplings
4. Plates
5. Nuts

IBO Drill System

Along with the main hollow drill rod, the sacrificial drill bit is the most crucial part of the IBO anchoring drill system. And it is responsible for the productivity of the installation. Onton factory maintains a large range of drill bits to suit the changing demands of geology encountered on different projects.

The drill bits are normally made by casting or machining.

For anchor plates, there are also two ways to manufacture.

Plate shears are used in cutting anchor plates in the thickness of 8/10/12mm. Over 15mm thickness plates are cutting with gas or by sawing machine.

Anchor nuts and plates for IBO drill system:

IBO Anchor Nut and Coupling

The hexagonal anchor nuts are manufactured from high precision steel with chamfered edges on both ends from high precision steel and tempered to meet the stringent demands on anchor specifications and the daily operations. ibodrill.com ensures all nuts exceed the ultimate strength of the anchor bars.

The coupling features a patented design that enables direct end-to-end energy transmission between each bar, reducing losses and ensuring maximum percussive energy at the drill bit.
