Drilling and threading holes
Drilling and threading holes is a process that requires experience, precision and specialised equipment. At Eurostal, we fully understand the needs of entrepreneurs operating in various branches of light and heavy industry, which is why we offer professional metalworking services that prepare components for further stages of production or assembly. We use robust radial drilling machines that allow us to drill holes of various diameters.
Drilling and tapping holes using a radial drill
A radial drilling machine is a specialised machine designed for drilling, reaming, countersinking and threading holes in large components. The vertical axis of the machine features a column, which is the main support for the radial arm. The column can rotate around its own axis, allowing the arm to be positioned as required. The radial arm moves vertically (up and down) along the column and rotates around it. Thanks to this mobility, holes can be drilled at various points on the workpiece without having to move it.
The radial arm also allows you to adjust the distance between the spindle and the column, enabling you to work with parts of various sizes. Drills and other cutting tools are attached to the spindle, which can move along the arm. Radial drills use a Morse taper for tool mounting, which allows for easy and quick tool replacement.
At Eurostal, we use a 2A554 radial drilling machine, which is characterised by high technical parameters. The distance between the spindle axis and the column is as much as 1600 mm, and the spindle stroke is 400 mm, which allows us to work with large elements. Thanks to this tool, we are able to drill holes in steel with a diameter of up to 50 mm, which allows us to prepare elements for further production or assembly processes.
High-quality services for various industries
Our experience in the metallurgical industry allows us to effectively solve problems and optimise production processes. We strive for complete customer satisfaction through an individual approach to each project. The radial drilling machine we use allows for easy adjustment of spindle speed and feed rate using convenient adjustment knobs, enabling precise adjustment of machining parameters.
The device offers several operating modes, including: precision manual drilling, drilling with automatic drill retraction, threading with automatic tool retraction, and drilling with finishing. This makes it versatile and suitable for a variety of tasks. It has proven itself in projects for customers in the automotive, construction, aerospace, energy and engineering industries. Our team of experts will be happy to assist you with your project and offer personalised solutions.
