A range of automation integrates seamlessly into UNISIG deep hole drilling machines, making it easier for manufacturers to reduce manual labor, optimize production, and uphold strict standards of accuracy.

Increased precision and production - our UNISIG UNE6-2i-750-CR gundrilling machine featuring in-machine automation with a dual-gripper for rapid part exchange. Reduce the time spindles are not drilling with the dual-gripper head, robot makes fewer trips back and forth to retrieve parts and exchanges parts while other spindle drills. The dual-gripper opens possibilities for dual layer pallets, increased run time, dual workpiece program cycles, and workpiece lengths up to 300mm (12in) without the need for gripper changeover.

For gundrilling a wide variety of power transmission shafts in production volumes, check out this overview of our UNISIG 4-Spindle Gundrilling Cell with flexible automation. This cell provides very high production rates from four spindles, but with the setup speed and flexibility of twin spindle UNISIG UNE20-2-1000-CR gundrilling machines. In this video you will see advanced features including our UNISIG Automated Cell Controller, dual UNISIG CBP stations, laser verification technology, 6-axis robot with End of Arm Tool change, ergonomic parts staging stations, and on-demand part inspection station.

UNISIG’s B-Series gives customers the flexibility and power to perform BTA drilling on large, heavy workpieces. B-Series machines can also work alongside a robot, automating the loading and unloading process which optimizes production by improving floor to floor time. UNISIG B-Series machines are organized into two categories: B-Series < 800 mm swing over bed and B-Series > 800 mm swing over bed.

For high-volume gundrilling production with great accuracy, UNISIG's UNI20-4-750-CR has a lot to offer. Four spindles with a max drilling diameter of 20mm (.78 inch) and max depth of 750mm (30 inches) deliver expanded productivity, and the workpiece counter-rotation (CR) improves hole accuracy and straightness.

Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers discover improved production rates when using a UNISIG S-Series machine to finish their cylinder interiors. The single-pass skiving and roller burnishing operation is extremely efficient and accurate on these machines, and this S600-3M model example helps to illustrate the features of UNISIGs S-Series.

With the flexibility of its universal table for part fixturing, UNISIG’s UNE40-1500-FT deep hole drilling machine offers manufacturers a unique opportunity to bring gundrilling operations in-house.

Deep hole drilling on a production scale meets high accuracy standards with UNISIG's UNI-25BTA-4-750 4-spindle drilling machine.

An overview of the feature-rich UNE12-2-750-CR from UNISIG. Its two spindles are capable of precision gundrilling to 12mm in diameter and 750mm in depth -- at 12,000 rpm, adding a great deal of productivity within a compact footprint. This fully enclosed machine boasts over 2,000 psi coolant pressure with a contained chip collection system and touchscreen control panel. Counter-rotation of cylindrical workpieces ensures improved hole straightness. UNISIG builds this gundrilling machine to be automation-ready, and frequently integrates robots with its products.

Expertly automated for continuous, synchronous production. The UNI gundrills 4 parts at once, while 2 gundrilled parts are precision reamed and 2 parts receive the final step of button rifling.
