Self feeding AutoDrills can be the answer for your volume production drilling problems. They use an integral pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder with a driven precision spindle to provide automatic self feed and mechanical rotation. This allows simultaneous feed for one or many drills with simple valving and position switches. The principle is displayed below:

Some Typical AutoDrill Applications are:

• Multi-Hole Drilling - Drill one or many holes simultaneously
• Precision Location Hole Drilling - AutoDrills, once fixtured, precisely repeat the operation
• CNC Alternate - Use AutoDrills to replace expensive CNC equipment and reduce operator training costs
• Multiple Step Operations - AutoDrills with their self feeding feature are easily automated to sequence multiple operations with less setups
• Deep Hole Drilling - AutoDrill peck drill feed controls automate deep hole operations
• Small Hole Drilling - Self feed and Hydro Speed feed controls reduce drill breakage problems
• Limited Access Drilling - AutoDrill's compact size and optional multiple spindle and offset heads are ideal in these situations

Automation controls complete the drill system. Basic industrial control valving produces reliable reciprocal forward and reverse stroking. Many optional controls are available to handle most conceivable applications.
