Pin Installation Technology

Model DP Drilling and Pinning Machine

This self contained vertical drilling and pinning machine is ideally suited for moderate to high production applications that require accurate drilling and pinning of assemblies. The concept of drilling and pinning with one system eliminates tight tolerance and precision drilling of individual components to ensure proper alignment of holes for assembly. The Model DP Drilling and Pinning Machine consists of an automatic highprecision drilling unit, a SPIROL Model CR Pin Insertion Machine and a precision air-powered linear slide unit to move the assembly between the drill unit and installation station.

The Model DP Drilling and Pinning Machine operates as follows: the assembly is loaded into a custom fixture nest, and the machine is activated. The assembly is automatically clamped, advances to the drilling position and the hole is drilled. The assembly then slides back to the loading/pinning position, and the pin is automatically installed. The fixture un-clamps and the completed assembly is manually removed. 

OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS

Optional features such as rotary index tables, pin sensing, force monitoring, drilling and pinning combinations, laser part presence detection, and pin level monitoring in both the feed tube and bowl are available to enhance productivity, improve process control, and support error-proofing.
