Knuth R 60 VT Radial Drill Press ( Part No. 101656 ) The first servo conventional radial drill press

• The base, column, boom and gear head are made of high-quality cast iron
• The main design features are the large dimensioned column and the particularly torsion-resistant boom
• The height of the boom is adjusted via a powerful motor drive and lifting spindle
• The boom lifting gear runs in an oil bath and works reliably and with little wear
• The swivel and traversing axes are characterized by their exceptional ease of movement and relieve the operator in everyday production
• A central lubrication reliably supplies the column with lubricant

Electronically controlled servo quill feed with large touchscreen display

• The drilling depth is set electronically and the input value is checked by the system
• The unit of measurement for the entries and displays can be selected between mm and inch
• The powerful coolant device is activated on the touchscreen and then switched on or off depending on the main spindle
• The machine has 2 gear stages in which the speed can be continuously adjusted and displayed on the monitor
• A servomotor continuously controls the quill feed - when the feed has reached the preselected drilling depth, the quill automatically returns to the starting position
• Thread cutting, on the other hand, is purely manual, with the operator changing the direction of rotation of the quill once the thread depth has been reached
• The operator can position the jib in height by touching the corresponding icon. The system automatically releases and fixes the hydraulic clamp, switches on the hoist motor and takes the set end stops into account
• Drill head and column can be clamped or released together or separately
• The boom can be moved in height without losing the alignment of the spindle to the bore
• The control software also offers recommendations for speed and feed, depending on the desired drill size
• Various alarm displays warn the operator of operating errors or show the operating status
