Hole Drilling Option On Laser Cutting Machine

Product News Wednesday, April 15, 2009: AutoDrill LLC

AutoDrill equipment recently enabled a manufacturer of laser cutting machines to offer a new option for their customers. Making small, accurate holes through thicker material is sometimes impossible because of the limited options on a laser cutting machine. The manufacturer researched putting a self stroking drill onto their machine and decided on the AutoDrill brand machine.

By drilling all the holes with a standard AutoDrill machine, smaller holes are now possible through even the thickest materials. Due to the optional peck drill features available, they were able to quote jobs that would previously have been turned down Additionally, the customer is considering placing multiple spindle drill units on a single machine to drill many small holes at the same time for some repetitive hole drilling applications. Annular cutters with a positive plug ejection system can be used for some applications as well.

All the equipment is rated for continuous duty production work. AutoDrill offers free application and design assistance during the quote and post-sale process. Free CAD drawings are available for all their equipment.
