UNISIG to Focus on Engineered Automation for Gundrilling at EASTEC

Wide range of solutions ensures optimized deep hole drilling production

During EASTEC 2023, visitors to UNISIG booth 1117 will learn how automation takes deep hole drilling machine efficiency and productivity to new levels. Company experts will be on hand to discuss how engineered automation is routinely included in deep hole drilling machine cells and can be machine mounted or used to combine multiple machines or operations.

UNISIG is experienced in developing safe and effective standard automation that encompasses specialized solutions to fit the needs of particular production demands, applications or facilities – enabling shops to make the most of their UNISIG deep hole drilling machines. To accomplish this, the company engineers three types of automation solutions – those that are flexible, machine mounted or custom designed.

Flexible automation solutions are versatile features that can be integrated into the machine design, or designed independently, to automate the operation of a single machine, or combine multiple machines into an automated cell. Flexible automation encompasses robots, part-tray-handling conveyors, pallet changers and servo driven gantries.

Programmable smart conveyors and walking beam loading systems are two examples of UNISIG’s machine mounted automation solutions for part loading and handling. The company engineers these solutions into a machine’s design so that they function integrally with it.

For more extensive automation requirements, UNISIG will program and integrate custom automation such as pick-and-place systems, heavy bar loaders and bulk feeders into a deep hole drilling process. These custom-engineered solutions are optimized to fulfil a shop’s production, application, budget and facility requirements.

UNISIG Spotlights Gundrilling Flexibility for Medical Applications at IMTS 2022

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., May 17, 2022 – At IMTS 2022 in Booth 339159, UNISIG will showcase the technologies that make it an industry leader in extreme depth-to-diameter hole drilling, including the ability to create holes with outstanding precision. The company’s UNE6 Series small-diameter gundrilling machines excel at drilling deep holes in demanding materials, including high-strength titanium and surgical-grade stainless steel, and achieve superior concentricity through tool and workpiece counter rotation.

At the show, UNISIG will highlight medical production on the UNE6-2i that features two independent high-speed spindles for production of 10″ or 30″ maximum part lengths and available integrated automation onboard. The machine’s high accuracy allows it to drill hole diameters from 0.03-0.25″ (0.8 mm-6 mm) and depth-to-diameter ratios from 20:1 to more than 100:1 in workpieces up to 11 lb (5 kg). With 28,000 rpm total drilling speed and a 3,000 psi (207 bar) flow-based coolant system, the UNE6-2i combines exceptional process control with an intuitive smart control interface.

Customers in industries that include aerospace, automotive, energy, firearms, hydraulics, defense, and oil and gas, as well as medical and moldmaking, can consult with application engineers and technical sales staff at IMTS to discuss optimization of applications including drilling and beyond

Gundrill Grinder Debuts at Houstex Show

UNISIG will display its new gundrill grinder system at the Houstex 2015 show in Houston, TX. This complete system combines high-precision fixturing and grinding, along with optics and measurement software, enabling operations to move accurately from the grinding setup to the camera. Keeping gundrill tips properly ground increases tool life and improves the gundrilling process. The gundrill grinder joins a selection of machine accessories offered in addition to deep hole drilling machines. The grinder will be on display at the show, with demonstrations available.
