Heavy-Duty Multi-Spindle Drilling Machine Solution for a Manufacturer
The Customer
Hypneumat partnered with a manufacturer on the East Coast seeking to improve the performance of their automatic drilling machine operations. The customer required a customized machine that could keep pace with growing production demands while maintaining precision and consistency across every part.
The Challenge
The customer needed to increase efficiency and drill more parts faster without sacrificing accuracy. Their application required deep hole drilling and standard equipment lacked the reach to efficiently complete the operation timeline.
With a required drilling depth of 18 inches, the equipment solution needed to provide both stroke length and stability while maintaining rapid production speeds.
The Hypneumat Solution
Hypneumat engineered a customized machine using the SP318E hydraulically fed automatic drilling unit, designed to meet the customer’s exact specifications.
This robust drilling machine features an 18-inch stroke, enabling the customer to reach deep into their workpiece and complete each cycle efficiently. To further enhance productivity, the unit was paired with a MH2004 fixed-position multiple spindle drill head with ER32 collet spindles, enabling the simultaneous drilling of four holes at once. The cylinder operates at 250 psi with 3/8” NPT ports for hydraulic flow, hydraulic seals, and a cam switch to signal when to begin the controlled auto feed process.
The Result
With the implementation of this customized multiple spindle drill head unit into the customer’s automatic drilling machine, they significantly improved their production capabilities.
The new system allows the customer to:
- Drill four holes simultaneously, drastically reducing cycle time
- Achieve consistent results in deep hole drilling applications
- Increase throughput and overall part output
