multispindle-heads

Achieve Maximum Productivity When Drilling & Threading

HELLMERICH’s multiple-spindle drilling and tapping heads combine productivity with precision. Multiple spindle drill heads resp. multiple spindle heads are dedicated to specific workpieces and are always integrated into a machine tool.

To ensure cost-effectiveness, flexibility and top quality, we are realising on modular systems based on standardised components.

Benefits

  • Time savings due to simultaneous machining with up to 60 tools
  • Different machining operations without tool change: Mill, drill, or tap heads with one unit
  • High precision because of fixed spindle arrangement tailored to the drilling pattern
  • Optional micro adjustment of spindles in the drill head
  • MQL lubrication of gearboxes and spindle bearings for high speed applications

 

EXCHANGE HEADS FOR EASY CHANGE OF HOLE PATTERN

For HELLMERICH units with head change interface, the adapter including the drive is permanently mounted in the machine tool. The interface on the adapter is equipped with a central drive shaft and a manual or hydraulic clamping system. The unit with head-change interface consists of the gearbox and the bearing bores for DIN spindles. The setup process is done manually. Weight of changeable unit < 30kg.

 

Cross-feed units for TURNING ON FIXED WORKPIECES

HELLMERICH cross-feed units are used for high-precision turning on fixed workpieces, for example for machining front faces, outer contours or chamfers without tool change.

Cross feed unit designs

  • hydraulic or motorized draw bar
  • Precise cross-feed design centered on axis
  • Option of multiple media feed to the tool
  • NC double cross-feed design is also possible

 

Quill units for more flexibility

HELLMERICH quill units are special purpose units and are increasing flexibility in your processing concept thanks to the axial movement of the work spindles. The quill axis can be designed as a positioning axis or as a feed axis.

Quill unit designs

  • High static and dynamic rigidity at the knitting point
  • Spindle and headstock thermal rigidity
  • Minimal axial and radial bearing backlash
  • Bearing points achieve high level of concentricity
  • oil-water coolant (OWC), minimum lubrication cooling (MQL) or dry machining option

 

Accessories: ASSEMBLY, REMOVAL AND MEASURING DEVICES

Accessories such as installation or removal devices or measuring devices are made to order and supplied in addition to the products manufactured by Hellmerich. Simple and safe handling are in the center of the design in addition to the practical packaging.
