4-AXIS CNC DRILL SHARPENER
Darex, the US manufacturer of drill sharpening equipment represented in the UK exclusively by 1st MTA, has introduced a new, automatic, 4-axis CNC machine that is a faster and more accurate than its predecessor. A collet chuck version of the bench-top machine will be demonstrated for the first time at MACH.
Designated XPS-16+, it can process two-fluted high-speed-steel, cobalt, carbide and coated bits from 3 to 16 mm in diameter and can create any point angle from 90 degrees to 150 degrees as standard. The unit also sharpens split point geometries and complex, 4-facet point drills and can automatically hone carbide drills for high cutting precision. The CNC system allows the user to customise point styles and save the program for future use.
Further improvements over the previous model include an increased number of stored drill files; users can save up to 100 geometries. The upgraded machine also allows the user to choose between no-split, X-split, R-split and the new split-only option. The start of the grind position has been incremented, resulting in more efficient use of the abrasive for longer wheel life. In addition, greater resolution has been added to the motors for improved surface finish
1st Machine Tool Accessories will be exhibiting during the Mach Exhibition in Hall 5 Stand 5120 where you will be able to see the Darex Drill Sharpeners in action.
