TB4 drilling bench

Automatic bench for drilling pairs of roller shutter side rails

This bench is designed specifically for manufacturers of roller shutters. It will drill automatically the fitting holes of the side rails, after cut to length.
It is equipped with 4 converging industrial drilling units, which avoids any external burr, and allows two different diameters, 5mm for screw  shaft, 10mm for screw heads (12mm possible with a different drilling unit), in particular in transversal wall in double walled side rails.
Holes may be drilled simultaneously for optimal productivity; control unit ensures collision-proof movements.
This bench is universal, able to drill any type of side rail, included inside a 105mm X 105mm square.
Holes may be made in any of the side rail wall.
Drilling X positions are determined automatically, however it is easy to personalize the program.
Lateral adjustment Y of drilling positions is extremely easy, but it is seldom required.
This bench is made of:
 An upstream table. This table also receives the side rails at the end of the drilling operation. .
 The core machine, with the drilling units
 A downstream transit table, equipped  with  clamps fitted on a NC linear module. The side rails are clamped, they move all length length downstream, then they move back very precisely to each drilling position. Then they are released on the upstream table.

An operator is not required during production: once it is loaded, the bench works automatically, it is therefore ideal to use hidden time from other equipments.
