Messer offers their pneumatic drill unit for the MetalMaster Plus. An optional drill feature can be combined with normal plasma and oxyfuel cutting, allowing for more work to be done on the piece part in a single handling. All processes are done in the same set-up, providing accurate, feature-to-feature relationships, both within a single piece and from part-to-part.
? Drill up to ¼ in diameter holes in mild steel and 5/16 in diameter holes in aluminum using one-half horsepower air motor.
? Pneumatic system provides thrust of 159 lb
? Forward feed rate can be controlled automatically through a pre-set in the unique control head
? Working stroke of 3.94 in, with a signal to indicate completion of the drilling cycle
? Automatic initiation of drill commands by the part program frees the operator for other tasks
The drill unit can be activated by using a CNC command in the part program or by the operator with a manual switch. The spindle RPM and feed rate are set manually by the operator. (NOTE: When working with thicker plate, the drill may have to be removed in order to clear the material.)
