Deep Hole Drilling Technologies Showcased



At IMTS 2016, UNISIG will display its line of deep hole drilling solutions. Experts will be on hand to consult with attendees on how best to incorporate deep hole drilling into their operations. UNISIG will highlight two of its precise systems: a high-performance gundrilling machine and an automation-ready rifling machine, as well as examples of deep hole drilled workpieces.

UNISIG's UNE 12-2 gundrilling machine is designed to help shops bring in gundrilling processes with a low overall investment. It features high-performance components and engineering to deliver exact gundrilled holes at an increased rate.

The UNE 12-2 is rated to gundrill diameters measuring up to 0.50" and depths up to 30". Its vector-driven variable speed spindles rotate at rates that can reach 12,000 RPM. UNE machines' modular design allows for delivery of a variety of machine configurations for the addition of deep hole drilling to a manufacturer's production line.

Also on display will be the R-2A rifling machine, which is used for the final process of rifle barrel blank manufacturing and completes a rifle cell. With a servomotor-driven headstock and glass scale, the R-2A machine helps provide control over the barrel blank manufacturing process and manufactures calibers ranging from .17 to .50.

Workpieces requiring a range of deep hole drilling applications will also be on hand. "These will include a complex mold base that was manufactured with a combination of deep hole drilling and machining processes that reduced the number of setups," said a company spokesperson. "An additional display will include a variety of workpieces with on- and off-center deep holes, all held to the challenging tolerances that are required by some of the industry's most demanding applications."
