Drilling and Tapping

Sugino offers small and lightweight units, highly rigid units with high torque and thrust, servo-controlled feed units, and lightweight, pneumatically operated compact units.

 

Pneumatic Drilling Units

In the SFB and SFC drilling units, both spindle rotation and feed are powered by compressed air. These units operate without electricity and feature a compact design requiring minimal installation space.

Electro-Pneumatic Drilling Units

The spindle is driven by an electric motor, while the feed is pneumatically controlled. The compact and rigid SELFEEDER SSE series is available in the following models: SSE2, SSE3, SSE3C, SSE4 and SSE5. These units are equipped with Mitsubishi permanent-magnet motors, and the spindle speed can be adjusted using the supplied frequency inverter.

SELFEEDER DUO Robot Edition

This robotic machining unit is designed for installation on an industrial robot and enables the automation of various machining operations. In addition to drilling and tapping, it supports high-precision milling and end milling, which are generally difficult to perform using a robot alone. It expands the capabilities of industrial robots and provides a flexible solution for automated manufacturing.

SELFEEDER DUO SD3 Electric Drilling and Tapping Units

The SELFEEDER DUO SD3 units are equipped with two servo motors—one controlling spindle rotation and the other controlling feed. This enables precise adjustment of spindle speed, feed rate, working stroke and other machining parameters. Interchangeable spindle modules allow the unit to be configured for various applications, including drilling at speeds of up to 10,000 min⁻¹, tapping and through-tool coolant supply.

SYNCHRO TAPPER SSTB–SSTC Mechanical Tapping Units

The lightweight and compact SYNCHRO TAPPER SSTB and SSTC units feature mechanical feed, permanent-magnet motors, rapid approach and fast return to reduce cycle time. The SSTC model additionally offers a longer stroke to prevent interference with surrounding equipment.

Accessories for Drilling and Tapping Units

The product range includes twin-spindle heads with adjustable spindle spacing and multi-spindle heads with three or more spindles at fixed spacing. The Flex Stand and Level Clamp positioning holders provide sufficient rigidity and precise positioning of the units in the required working position. Hydraulic feed controllers provide smooth control of the working feed rate of pneumatic drilling units.
