ESAB’s Auto Drill 30 drilling system equipped with seven-tool changer

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced the Auto Drill 30 fully automated drilling system, capable of drilling holes with diameters up to 30 mm through plate thicknesses up to 50 mm, depending on material type. The system uses a new spindle design to expand drilling diameter and add capabilities.

Equipped with a seven-tool changer to accommodate seven different tools within the same program, the machine also can tap, countersink, and counterbore. It is an available option for the manufacturer’s Suprarex HDX and NUMOREX automated cutting machines, and it can be used in combination with stations for plasma beveling, oxyfuel cutting, inkjet marking, and pin stamping.
