Gundrilling Flexibility for Medical Applications

 

At IMTS 2022 in booth #339159, UNISIG showcases its extreme depth-to-diameter hole drilling technologies — an important benefit for moldmakers, the company says — including the ability to create holes with high precision. UNISIG’s UNE6 Series small-diameter gundrilling machines, for example, are said to excel at drilling deep holes in demanding materials, including high-strength titanium and surgical-grade stainless steel, as well as achieve improved concentricity through tool and workpiece counter rotation.

At the show, UNISIG will highlight medical production on the UNE6-2i that features two independent high-speed spindles for production of 10" or 30" maximum part lengths and available integrated automation onboard. The machine's high accuracy enables it to drill hole diameters from 0.03-0.25" (0.8-6 mm) and depth-to-diameter ratios from 20:1 to more than 100:1 in workpieces up to 11 lb (5 kg). With a total drilling speed of 28,000 rpm and a 3,000 psi (207 bar) flow-based coolant system, UNISIG says the UNE6-2i combines exceptional process control with an intuitive smart control interface.

Customers in industries that include aerospace, automotive, energy, firearms, hydraulics, defense and oil and gas, as well as medical and moldmaking, can consult with application engineers and technical sales staff at IMTS to discuss optimization of applications including drilling and beyond.
