Custom Multiple Spindle Drilling Head

Hypneumat, Inc. has developed a custom multiple spindle head that allows a customer to retrofit a drilling station on its existing automated machine.

An engineering change required an additional drilled hole on a casting the customer was machining. The new two-spindle drilling system had to fit within the same space of the existing single spindle drilling unit, which resulted in a uniquely shaped offset two-spindle drill head with a 79 mm center distance between spindle centers. This gear driven drill head is equipped with ER25 collet spindles, a gear ratio of 1:1 and a special guide rod bushing. The custom drill head is powered by a Hypneumat DQ46EHB automatic feed unit equipped with 6" of stroke, a 2 HP motor, 652 RPM spindle speed and capable of 1,107 pounds of thrust @ 100 PSI air pressure.

This built to order drill head and power feed unit allowed the customer to have a reliable solution to continue utilizing their existing custom machining center for the new generation part they are machining.

Hypneumat equipment is used to drill and tap all types of metals and plastics, and serves nearly all major manufacturing industries throughout the world, such as automotive, aerospace and oil.
