| New Sugino Varimec drill unit  Sugino unveiled their new intermediate-size, mechanical-feed, 1.5 HP electrically-driven Varimec Selfeeder drill unit to meet the demand of manufacturers for accurate holemaking requirements in a wide-range of metals and other materials. Like the two previously introduced Varimec 0.5 HP and the 3.25 HP drill units, the SSV4 quill-fed Selfeeder is capable of precision end-milling and face-machining operations. The SSV-4 is available with chuck capacities from 0.07" to 0.787". It is available in two models: a low-speed/high-torque unit with no-load spindle speeds ranging between 250 - 1,750 RPM and torque is rated between 5.24 - 9.07 ft. lbs. The high-speed SSV4 model has a no-load spindle speed between 1,000 - 7,000 RPM and torque rated at 1.33 - 2.29 ft. lbs.The total stroke length for the SSV4s as 9.83". The adjustment length for the rapid advance is variable; the rapid-approach and return speed is 7.92"/sec.. Maximum cutting speed is 0.656"/sec. Spindle runout for the SSV4 Varimec is very precise: under 0.0004"TIR. Internal linear slides used to guide the quill are among the innovative engineering features incorporated in the SSV4 that has increased the rigidity of the unit and reduced the size. Designing the spindle motor within the moving Z-axis quill and use of other proprietary features have reduced the overall size of the SSV4 to 29.8". The high rigidity of the Varimec drill unit parallels the rigidity of machining centers. The small size of the Varimec SSV4 coupled with the high rigidity eliminates side-load chattering and enhances the Varimec versatility to perform precision drilling, end-milling and face machining. Programming is accomplished with an available hand-held Programming Console to input information or through the R232C port for use with a laptop computer. The controller for the SSV4 can store up to 99 individual programs. There are 13 preprogrammed drill modes including standard, step, dwell, skip, spot-face, inverse spot-face and other drilling modes to simplify set-up and production. The SSV4 can be equipped with multi-spindle drill heads and off-set drill heads to increase their productivity and versatility. The Varimec SSV4 is furnished with a feed controller, an inverter for spindle speed operation, all interfacing cables and hardware that are necessary for easy integration into any manufacturing operation, cell, system or dedicated machinery. Varimec Selfeeder drill units can be mounted directly to a machine base or to adjusted columns to provide accurate drilling or machining at any required angle. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
