The New Quackenbush® Adaptive Drilling System Makes It Happen

New Quackenbush® Adaptive Drilling System

Optimizing Cutter Speed FThe Quackenbush® Adaptive Drilling System automatically matches drill speed to the material regardless oflayer thickness, changing speed in less than one second, so it’s always drilling at the fastest speed possible.
The result is a cycle-time reduction of up to 60% over conventional positive feed drilling and a major increasein productivity.

The adaptive drilling system automatically changes
from high to low speed when drilling Ti. High speed
can be up to 3X faster, giving impressive cycle time

Coolant flow rates areprogrammable for eachmaterial of a stack andcan be shut off onbreakthrough to reducecleanup time and further
increase productivity.

The adaptive programming
interface kit allows applicationand process parameters to be
set on the on-board tool memory
On-board tool memory module
module. The control box reads
the memory, provides the process control, and stores cycle data. Key programming features are speed, coolant flow, cutter data,
maximum holes per cutter, and material stackcombination. At theend of each cycle,
data is stored on thecontrol box and canbe downloaded to aPC for traceability anddiagnostics using an
Ethernet connection.

For Maximum Productivity
Easy Conversion Of Existing Drills
The Adaptive Drilling System is designed to enable
the most efficient use of your existing equipment.
Although the control box can operate only one toolat a time, it can control multiple different applications
one after the other. Ease of programmability allows
tools to be quickly reconfigured for different holesize and material stack combinations. The tools
are based on the proven Quackenbush 158, 230,
and 900 series positive feed line. New parts havebeen kept to a minimum and the on-board memory
module is designed to be retro-fittable to existing
tools in the field.
