High-Speed Drilling and Precision Tapping

The HiT-360D is designed for demanding drilling and tapping operations across automotive, oil and gas, and other manufacturing industries. Its combination of high spindle torque, structural rigidity, and thermal stability makes it suited for components requiring repetitive holemaking and precision threading.

A key productivity advantage of the HiT-360D is its hydraulically driven rack and pinion gear type pallet changer, designed for fast, stable, and reliable pallet exchanges. The dual table is designed with rotation with curvic coupling, and a lift up system that allows for rapid pallet changes and precise table positioning. This system minimizes noncutting time and enables smooth, accurate pallet positioning, making the machine suited for high-mix, high-volume production environments where uptime and efficiency are critical.

"With a powerful roller LM guide on every axis, the HiT-360D is able to handle high accuracy, multidirectional cutting even during aggressive, complex machining operations," said a company spokesperson.

The machine's 12,000 RPM spindle motor (opt. 24,000 across automotive, oil and gas, and several other manufacturing industries) provides consistent torque output, allowing for efficient drilling of alloy steels, stainless materials, and other challenging workpieces. The rapid speed rates up to 60 m/min and a chip-to-chip time of 1.6 seconds boosts productivity.

"In today's manufacturing environment, precision and production speed are no longer competing priorities-they are simultaneous requirements," said the spokesperson. "Automotive and oil and gas components often demand tight tolerances, consistent thread quality, and repeatable hole positioning across high-volume production runs. Any deviation can lead to assembly issues, performance failures, or costly rework. At the same time, cycle times must remain optimized to maintain profitability and meet delivery schedules. Machines capable of holding accuracy under load while minimizing noncutting time play a critical role in sustaining both quality standards and operational efficiency-this is what makes the HiT-360D a favorite across the industry."
