Four-Spindle Gundrilling Cell with Flexible Automation

The UNISIG 4-Spindle Gundrilling Cell with flexible automation simplifies rapid parts gundrilling. This system employs two UNISIG UNE20-2-1000-CR dual-spindle gundrilling machines, enabling 4x drilling of one part or 2x drilling of two different parts quickly and efficiently. These machines can drill up to 20 mm diameter holes to a maximum depth of 1,000 mm while counter-rotating the workpiece for maximized hole concentricity.

In this cell, a 6-axis robot picks two parts at once to load or unload, utilizing dual parts staging stations to maximize spindle uptime. Laser verification technology assists the robot's use of dual sets of pallets. UNISIG's Automated Cell Controller (ACC) centralizes the controls for both machines, and a moveable inspection station allows for on-call part inspection. Variations of this manufacturing cell can be configured as needed.

The versatile UNE standard gundrilling machines balance high-performance components with a lower overall investment, making it easy for machine shops to bring their deep hole drilling operations in-house. Machine models have maximum drilling diameters ranging from 12 mm to 40 mm and depths up to 3 m, with the horsepower and coolant control to efficiently run indexable, brazed or solid carbide gundrills.

Twin spindle UNE machines can be configured as independent spindles, allowing two drilling operations to be run on a single machine. Available counter-rotation of cylindrical workpieces minimizes hole drift and helps ensure drilling accuracy.
