The Model DP is a self-contained vertical drilling and pinning machine designed for moderate to high-volume assembly applications, integrating an automatic high-precision drilling unit, a SPIROL Model CR pin insertion machine, and an air-powered linear slide to move assemblies between stations. It supports hole sizes from 0.8 mm to 6 mm and insertion forces up to 1,800 lbs, with programmable control via an Allen Bradley Panel View HMI. The machine features drill pecking, recirculating flood coolant, hardened pin guide bushings, and full perimeter guarding with electrically interlocked access doors. Tooling changeover is swift, and cycle times are under a minute, as demonstrated in applications ranging from gear-to-shaft assemblies to other precision components.
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.
