Radial drilling machine R 40 VT PRO

for steelvariable speedservo-electric

Product overview
The R-VT PRO models are the next generation of conventional radial drill presses designed for precise drilling, countersinking and thread cutting in single-part and small-batch production. The intuitive control concept with large touchscreen simplifies parameter selection and supports repeatable machining. Typical applications include maintenance, toolmaking and steel construction.

Highlights

• Intuitive touchscreen control with rpm/feed recommendations
• Servomotor-driven quill feed for precise electronic control
• Rigid cast construction with large column and torsion-resistant boom
• Motorized boom height adjustment with oil-bath lifting gears
• 3-year warranty on the touchscreen

Key product details

• Base, column, boom and gear head manufactured from premium castings
• Boom height adjustment via powerful motorized drive and vertical spindle
• Boom lifting gears run in an oil bath for low wear and high reliability
• Swivel and travel axes engineered for smooth operation and operator comfort
• Central lubrication system for reliable column lubrication
• Electronically controlled servo quill feed with large touchscreen display
• Drilling depth is set electronically and the input value is verified by the system
• Units selectable between mm and inch
• High-performance coolant system activated from the touchscreen and linked to spindle operation
• Two gear steps with stepless rpm variation displayed on the monitor
• Quill automatically returns to start at preset depth; thread cutting manual unless optional automatic thread cutting enabled
• Operator can set boom height via touchscreen; system automatically releases/fixates hydraulic clamps and respects limit stops
• Drill head and column can be clamped/released together or separately
• Boom can be moved vertically without losing spindle-to-bore alignment
• Control software provides rpm and feed recommendations for drill sizes and alarm screens for operational errors

Automatic thread cutting option (optional for R 40 VT PRO / R 60 VT PRO / R 80 VT PRO)

• Automatic thread cutting function enabled from the touchscreen
• Correct pitch and recommended rpm are read from internal database depending on tap size
• Thread cutting performed with automatic feed; spindle speed synchronized with thread lead and depth stop limits thread depth
• On reaching preset depth spindle reverses and quill returns automatically
