How These Devices Attach to the Drill Press
The VH series heads are designed to be compatible with standard pillar drills using several standardized attachment methods to ensure secure and efficient operation. The attachment mechanisms follow DIN standards, which dictate the type of tooling interfaces that can be used. Below is an explanation of the DIN standards that are applicable and how they affect the attachment of the device to the drill press:
DIN 238: Drill Sleeves
DIN 238 specifies the dimensions and characteristics of drill sleeves, which are used to adapt drill heads to fit different spindle diameters. These sleeves enable the use of drills with smaller shank sizes in larger spindles, ensuring compatibility across various tool sizes without compromising stability. The drill sleeve is inserted into the drill’s spindle, providing a precise fit for the VH series heads, ensuring they stay securely in place during operation.
- Key Benefits of DIN 238: Allows flexibility in adapting different drill sizes to the machine.
- Ensures compatibility between spindle and head, accommodating various tool diameters.
DIN 55058: Spring Collet Chucks
DIN 55058 governs the design of spring collet chucks, which are used to hold tools in place with high precision and rigidity. The collet chucks ensure the tool is centered correctly and held tightly within the spindle, minimizing runout and ensuring consistent drilling and tapping operations. The collet chucks are particularly useful for high-speed drilling operations, as they provide excellent tool retention even under high RPMs.
- Key Benefits of DIN 55058: Precise tool holding for high-accuracy drilling and tapping.
- Reduced tool runout, ensuring higher quality of drilled or tapped holes.
DIN 228: Steep Taper Tool Holders
DIN 228 specifies the dimensions and taper angles of steep taper tool holders, commonly used for high-torque drilling applications. These holders fit securely into the spindle of the drill press with a taper that self-locks when torque is applied. This system ensures that the VH series heads remain firmly in place during heavy-duty operations, preventing slippage or detachment under load.
- Key Benefits of DIN 228: Strong and secure attachment, especially in high-torque situations.
- Quick and easy tool changes, minimizing downtime.
Installation and Setup
The VH series heads are designed for quick and easy installation on standard drill presses. The heads are typically attached using a combination of the above-mentioned DIN-compliant tool holders, depending on the specific setup of the drill press. The entire process is streamlined to ensure minimal downtime when switching between heads, allowing for efficient, multi-spindle drilling operations.
- Quick Installation: Tooling interfaces like collet chucks and drill sleeves allow for rapid installation of the VH series heads. Operators can swiftly change out heads as needed, enabling different operations without significant delays.
- Easy Setup: Once the appropriate attachment method (sleeve, collet chuck, or steep taper) is selected, aligning and securing the VH series head is straightforward. This ensures repeatability in positioning and operational accuracy.
