Drilling Units for Medium-Duty Production

Suhner says its Economaster drilling units are suitable for medium-duty production cutting of light metal, wood, composite, foam and plastic materials, and are available in standard and custom models to suit all applications and mounting requirements. 

The Economaster drilling unit features low power and air consumption, adjustable motor housing, adjustable total stroke up to 4″, hydraulic feed control cylinder, J33 taper spindle end, 0-1/2” drill chuck, electric front and rear position limit switches, belt tensioner and chrome-plated quill. The basic unit weight is 45 lbs.   

Other features include adjustable feed stroke of ½-3”, 400 lb thrust at 85 psi, operating pressures up to 110 psi, TEFC/IP56 protection, standard 230 V/460 V, concentricity of .003” TIR, speed ranges to 9,600 rpm and an air connection retract/advance of 1/8”-27 NPT.   

The drilling units can be supplied with an adjustable stand, inline vertical configuration and multiple spindle heads for medium-duty production drilling, with many other spindle options and toolholders available. The units are entirely produced in the U.S., so the company says response times for delivery and customized construction are minimal.
