Several drilling and tapping heads stand on a heavy cast-iron table with centralised electrics. The part moves from station to station, and each one does its own operation — drilling, countersinking, tapping — with no resetting in between. The layout is chosen for the specific part and process route.

MAXION BRK 18 takes 3–6 heads at 370 mm spacing with 340 mm working throat depth, using the BT 6 FREQUENZ, UNIMAX 1 FREQUENZ and UNIMAX 1 TAP bench heads. The MAXION BRK 20 takes 3–5 heads at 450 mm spacing with 455 mm throat depth, using the BT 18 GL, BT 20, UNIMAX 2 T and UNIMAX 2 TAP. The MAXION BRK 35 takes 3–6 heads at 450 mm spacing with 460 mm throat depth, using the BT 36, BT 36 GL, UNIMAX 3 T, UNIMAX 3 AV, UNIMAX 3 GL, UNIMAX 3 TAP and UNIMAX 4 Basic+.

Each head can be viewed separately: bench, column and tapping machines. General selection criteria are on the drilling machines.

Questions and answers

When is a unit better than separate machines?

When one part runs in large batches and goes through several operations. The tool at each station is set once, the part moves along the table, and one operator runs the whole route.

What should I send for a selection?

The part drawing, the list of holes and threads, the material and quantity per shift. From this we select the number of stations, the heads and the tooling.

Not sure which model fits?

Send your part parameters — we'll select and quote.
