DeHoff Gundrilling Utilized for All-Electric F-150 Truck



The DeHoff 1024C is a custom-designed machine for gundrilling the axles of the new all-electric Ford F-150 pickup truck. The machine enables a Tier 1 supplier to produce lighter axles in large volumes for use in the F-150's all-wheel drive electric layout.

The 1024C has a 1" (25.4 mm) gundrilling capacity and a 24" (610 mm) gundrilling depth. It features six gundrilling spindles on a single machine base, and utilizes adjustable tailstocks and hydraulic workpiece clamping. The axles are automatically loaded and unloaded using a lift-and-carry material handling system.

"DeHoff machines feature steel box ways and hand-scraped mating components (instead of linear guide ways and milled surfaces). This results in superior vibration damping, extended tool life and improved surface finish," said a company spokesperson.

DeHoff gundrilling machines are designed and manufactured by Kays Engineering in Marshall, MO.
