Model DP - Drilling and Pinning Machine

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the SPIROL Model DP, a self-contained vertical drilling and pinning machine designed for moderate to high production applications. It integrates drilling and pinning into one system, ensuring precise alignment and efficient assembly processes.
Specifications:
  • Precision: Features include a drill guide bushing, drill pecking for accuracy, fine pin insertion depth adjustment, and a precision ground machine table.
  • Durability: Equipped with recirculating flood coolant, cushioned cylinder return stroke, and hardened pin guide bushings.
  • Versatility: Utilizes an Allen Bradley Panel View interface, supports wet and dry drilling, accommodates hole sizes from 0.8mm to 6mm, and handles insertion forces up to 1,800 lbs.
  • Efficiency: Automates drilling and pinning, reducing handling and process steps, with quick drill replacement.
  • Safety: Includes full perimeter guarding and an optional infrared light curtain.
Application Example: The machine was used by a hydraulic pump manufacturer to affix gears to shafts, consolidating three manual operations into one automated process. It accommodates various assembly sizes with quick tooling changeovers, achieving a cycle time of 45 seconds and extending drill bit life to over 600 cycles.
Benefits: The machine doubled production output and provided a payback period of less than 12 months. SPIROL offers complimentary application engineering support to assist with new designs and cost-saving recommendations.
Contact Information: SPIROL has technical centers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, providing global support and services.

Model DP - Drilling and Pinning Machine-1

Drilling and Pinning Machine This self contained vertical drilling and pinning machine is ideally suited for moderate to high production applications that require accurate drilling and pinning of assemblies. The concept of drilling and pinning with one system eliminates tight tolerance and precision drilling of individual components to ensure proper alignment of holes for assembly. The Model DP machine consists of an automatic high-precision drilling unit, a SPIROL Model CR Pin Insertion Machine and a precision air-powered linear slide unit to move the assembly between the drill unit and installation station. The Model DP operates as follows: the assembly is loaded into a custom fixture nest, and the machine is activated. The assembly is automatically clamped, advances to the drilling position and the hole is drilled. The assembly then slides back to the loading/pinning position, and the pin is automatically installed. The fixture un-clamps and the completed assembly is manually removed. Design Features/Benefits: Precise: - Drill guide bushing to support and guide drill bit during drilling operation - Drill pecking feature for straight, accurate holes - Fine pin insertion depth adjustment - Precision ground machine table - Critical components are dowelled in place to maintain alignment Built to Last: - Recirculating flood coolant in the drilling operation for drill bit life and chip removal - Cushioned cylinder return stroke to reduce shock and noise - Hardened pin guide bushings and hard coated vibratory feeder bowl Versatile: - Allen Bradley Panel View Human Machine Interface for programming and control of all machine functions - Can be easily configured to accommodate a variety of applications - Capable of both wet and dry drilling operation - Hole sizes from 0.8mm (1/32”) to 6mm (1/4”) diameter - Capable of insertion forces up to 1,800 lbs. Efficient: - Eliminate the need to handle components multiple times through several different processes - Automatic operation of drilling and pinning processes - Automatic feed, delivery and insertion of pins - Collet style drill chuck, with internal stop for quick no-measurement drill replacement Safe: - Full perimeter guarding with electrically interlocked access door for operator safety - Infrared light curtain option readily availabl
