Extended Travel for Gun Barrel Reaming Machine
January 1, 2017
The DeHoff G560-R2 is a twin-spindle reaming machine used to manufacture gun barrels. It has an extended slide travel of 60" (1,524 mm), which is 25% more than the previous model offered by the company. The machine utilizes pull-reaming to process gun barrel blanks after they have been gundrilled. It can accommodate barrel sizes from 17 to 50 caliber, with automated loading/unloading of barrels.
The machine features a heavy-duty design that incorporates a cast iron drill head base with hardened and ground steel box ways, plus hand-scraped and fitted saddle, gibs and straps (versus linear guide ways and milled surfaces). "This results in enhanced vibration damping, extended tool life and improved hole accuracy and surface finish," said a company spokesperson. Standard elements are also included on the G560-R2, such as a high-pressure coolant system, Beckhoff controls and a full machine enclosure.
The G560-R2 is part of a turn-key package of gun barrel manufacturing equipment offered by DeHoff, including machines for gundrilling, pull-reaming, button rifling, cut rifling, as well as tooling, heat treat ovens and gauging equipment. DeHoff machines are built-to-order by Kays Engineering, Inc. in its Marshall, MO, facility.
