Drill spindles, drilling tools designed for continuous or extended
production runs. For heavy duty, high speed drilling applications, the
drill spindle tool head can be use in conjunction with a Mastercut
2000/2100 flatbed cutting platform.
bw_drill_med1_shadow.jpg (35549 bytes)The Mastercut 2000 industrial
flatbed cutter is extremely adaptable. The machine shown on the right is
actually used in manufacturing production at the Blackman and White plant.
It is used to drill the small holes in the aluminum surface of the vacuum
tables through which the air is drawn to hold the material being cut to
the surface of the table. Literally thousands of holes have to be drilled,
and this machine runs continuously and unattended. The drilling program
stops when the surface has been completely drilled, a new sheet of
aluminum is placed on the cutting table, and the process is started again.
The drill head is controlled by air actuated servos that lift the drill
chuck at the end of a run that drills a single hole. The depth is
controlled very accurately so the surface of the underlying cutting table
is not marred. The precise control of the Mastercut 2000 means that the
holes are placed with a precision of better than 0.15 mm across the entire
surface of the vacuum table. The machine is shown mounted on the main
cutting beam of a Mastercut 2000 with none of the covers or guards in
place so that the details of the tool head can be seen.
bw_drill_sm1_shadow.jpg (30838 bytes)The surface of the vacuum bed is
drilled with holes half inch (1.27 cm) apart. In a vacuum table of 5 ft by
20 ft (1.5 X 6 m) the Mastercut 2000 machine shown here at the Blackman
and White factory has to operate continuously and reliably around the
clock and drill some 46,000 holes. Thank you for taking the time to
investigate our Company and the Products we offer. If all your questions
about Blackman and White and the Mastercut 2000 range of cutting machines
