Drilling automation
Tools for a production process without the need to change in between. Software
designed to save time and therefore money while increasing efficiency — These are justtwo of the products Cheto has to offer. The company will also be exhibiting at thisyear’s EMO in Hanover.

Automatic gun drill toolchanger
Last year, Cheto launched a patent-pending toolchanger for gun drills. With it, Cheto has enabled
automatic switching between drilling and milling
for their machines. This is another step towards
automated production. Customers can place theworkpiece on the table and equip the drilling tools.
The ATC allows for up to 250 tools to be equipped.
Up to five gun drills can also be equipped. Then,the machine can mill and drill without the need ofan operator changing from one mode to the other,allowing for an automated drilling/milling process.

team with both parts manufacturing expertise andscientific knowledge. Within this group, a total of
30 years of mould-making experience was concentrated. This core idea of sticking as close as possible
to market demands, while delivering optimised
processes with machines that perform several operations at once, has been a hallmark of the company to this day.
Cheto is an international supplier of deep-hole
drilling machines that strives to meet increasing
market demands at all times. Their machines werebeing sold on four continents at the time of writing.
They are constantly aiming to innovate and improve their own products for their customers.

heto is a deep-hole drilling and milling machine manufacturer. The company will bepresent at this year’s EMO and display theirmachines to visitors of the trade fair.
Cheto mainly develops for the mould and dieindustry. They strive, so the company says, to add
value to the production process with their products.
Since mould production can quickly turn into avery complex process, Cheto aims to support its
customers in decreasing production costs while
increasing accuracy.
Drilling can take a rather long time, dependingon the tools and machines at work. Cheto has developed new machines that seek to change this.
The feed rates have been increased with the purpose of saving time for the overall production process. Cheto’s product range is set to support customers in lowering production costs while aiming
to increase efficiency in the entire process. This hasan added benefit for the delivery time.

Wise Active Control
The patent-pending software developed by Cheto
covers a range of control options: torque, feed, coolant pressure and flow as well as vibration. Just likeother Cheto products, the software aims for efficiency and cost-savings.
The software scans and evaluates the processes.
It then identifies intersections and variations andautomatically adjusts the drilling parameters. In
doing so, the software allows for a continuous production process while protecting tool life. This way,
time-savings can be achieved, according to thecompany.

Not your ordinary CNC
Cheto was established in 2009 with the task ofcreating a prototype for a multitasking machining
centre. The core of the project was composed of a-19
