Revolutionizing Fastner Removal

Technical Abstract (200 words or less): Perfect Point is an Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) technology and engineering services company that has developed a patented EDM handheld tool to remove aircraft and engine fasteners at less than half the cost of traditional methods with a damage rate of less than 0.1%. Our tool, technology, and process vastly improve the way structural maintenance is performed in the 21st century by providing a better, faster, safer, more accurate, and environment-friendly, maintenance method for airframe structures and engines. The E-Drill Fastener Separation Technology (FST) enables exponential productivity improvements, drives first pass quality, reduces the cost of consumables, and protects workers. Traditional methods for removing fasteners are time consuming, strenuous, requires years of experience, often causes structural damage, and produces FOD. E-Drill simplifies the fastener removal process using a computer controlled EDM hand tool that removes hard-metal fasteners in seconds, reduces damage rates to less than one percent, eliminates FOD, all while substantially reducing both material and labor costs. The E-drill’s ergonomic design uses minimal force, is quiet, and generates zero metal shaving FOD. It provides a clean, safe, repeatable fastener removal process using an innovative application of EDM developed to yield exponential productivity improvements.
