SOMEX offers deep hole drilling modules for drilling up to 12mm diamters and as deep as 100x the diameter

SOMEX introduces its custom made deep hole drilling modules capable of drilling up to 12mm diamters and as deep as 100x the diameter. These modules can be integrated directly into transfer machines, special purpose machines or conventional machines such turning machines.

With its modular component concept, SOMEX can provide customized turnkey, small, and economical deep hole drilling machines. The SOMEX design concept combines the guide bushing with a chip basket, allowing both items to travel in unison. The movement of the guide bushing is air-driven, which helps to provide a much closer contact to the part while preventing the escape of the coolant medium. For longer deep hole drilling applications, it may be necessary to integrate a support bushing to stabilize the deep hole drilling tool.

For deep hole drilling applications above 18mm diameters, SOMEX has the option to equip its MAX machining units with drilling systems from BTA- or EJEKTOR lines. In these applications, the coolant and chip management is accomplished through the spindle center. The emulsion is collected at the backend of the spindle, filtered, and pressurized to re-enter the coolant system.
