Large Artillery Barrel Solutions
Precihole is proud to be in a very small elite group of machine manufacturers in the world that can provide a broach rifling machine for large caliber weapon systems. Broach rifling creates spiral grooves in the barrel by removing steel using a hook cutter.
The linear and rotary motion of the hook cutter are precision controlled for accuracy using a servo drive and ball screw or rack and pinion mechanism. The broach cutters are progressive in size and each cutter cuts a size slightly bigger than the previous one. The fine filtration system on the machine ensures that the system gets coolant at requires rates and the swarf is evacuated properly from the barrel.
Machine features:
Use of ball screw or precision rack and pinion and servo drives for reciprocating linear motion
Precision interpolation and control of linear and rotary axes of the spindle
Special fixturing for quick component location and clamping
10 micron fine coolant filtration system
Mitsubishi / Siemens PLC controls with touch screen HMI
User friendly screens and simplified machine operation
