(ST. MICHAEL, Minn. - January 29, 2007) - Jet Edge, Inc. is pleased to introduce a pneumatic self-feeding drill for its precision waterjet cutting systems. The drill is available in stationary or laterally adjustable models.
The air drill gives waterjet operators the opportunity to expand their cutting capabilities and take in new types of work by enabling them to quickly pierce sensitive materials prior to cutting them with waterjet. It also can be used for reaming holes to a precise diameter. The drill works with any manufacturer's waterjet system. Its heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant design ensures a maximum operating life.
The drill features a hydraulic feed control unit, feed stroke adjustment, exhaust collector and PLC interface manifold. A flexible bellows cover is mounted to the front of the drill to protect it from foreign material. All controls are internal; there are no limit switches. The drill has a free running rpm of 3,300 and can be set for any stroke from 5/16 to 3 inches. It is supplied with a ¼-inch stainless steel drill chuck. The drill requires an air supply of 27 CFM at 100 psi and a control voltage of 24VDC. All control valves are contained within a NEMA-rated electrical enclosure.
