LONG PRODUCT DRILLING
We have the facility to hard stamp most products with bespoke identifying marks or cast numbers. Details of this service can be supplied. The drill line has the capacity to automatically process materials ranging in lengths from 2.2 metres to 21 metres, with a manual feed capacity of a minimum of 1.2 metres to a maximum 21 metres.
The drill unit has an automatic tool changing device and fast change chuck. This carries a magazine which can contain up to five tools complete with chuck sleeves, fixed directly to the drill unit to enable these tools to be inter-changed in the shortest possible time. Utilising the three drilling heads available on the machine we are also able to simultaneously drill on 3 faces of the material being processed, again reducing lead times and introducing cost benefits directly to our clients.
Programming is in the form of DSTV files, which generates the NC programme for the drilling machine. Control of the drill line comprises of a CNC Control with Touch Screen, integrated into the main control panel. The drill line has an operational working range to encompass the following dimensional sizes and hole diameters.
