Automatic CNC high-speed drilling and cutting lines for angles

The close tolerance requirements and engineering specifications required for many applications can easily be addressed with the new RAPID high-speed angle drilling lines. The exceptional productivity is achieved with spindle sub-axis positioning that is capable of processing offset holes in both legs simultaneously. This unique design makes the Rapid an economical and productive solution even on the largest of angles.

Channels

Direct drive drilling units

High speed drilling units equipped with powerful direct drive spindles and positioning with servo drives through a rack and pinion system.

Automatic tool-changer

The drill units are equipped with a 3 or 6 position automatic tool-changer system for quick tool replacement.

Spindle sub-axis positioning

Each spindle can be equipped with a 200mm (7-7/8”) sub-axis stroke in the X axis to perform milling operations and slotting in any direction.

Shearing unit

A single cut shear with a special hold-down systems to achieve the utmost in shearing precision. All shear blades are manufactured internally to guarantee the best quality and exceptional tool life.

Disc saw

One disc saw for 90° angle cutting is available as standard as an alternative to the shearing unit.

Marking unit

Marking of pieces is possible with a fully programmable marking press or the traditional cartridge style system.

Angle heel milling

A special tool to allow milling operations on the angles heel, complete with relevant tool-holder in special configuration.

Fast angle feeding system

A high speed carriage with a pincher system is for fast and accurate angle positioning through the working units.

Stock length detection

Thanks to a laser device positioned on the infeed conveyor it is possible to exactly measure the material stock length prior to processing.

Rotating loading system

A unique material loading system automatically lowers the next required stock length material onto the infeed conveyor.

Cross transfer system

All our lines can be configured with infeed and outfeed cross transfer tables to allow automatic loading/unloading of stock lengths and finished parts.

Faster drilling speed at minimum cost.

High RPM for faster drilling speeds with indexable carbide drilling tools.

Remote diagnostics are possible through a network connection that allows our service team to perform a system analysis.
