What This Machine Does
The /2 series is the same hydraulic radial drill layout with a digital readout added, and that changes how holes are positioned: the arm and head are moved to a displayed coordinate instead of being set from scales and judgement, so a pattern of holes lands where the drawing puts it. The machine brings mechanical electrical and hydraulic functions together, with clamping of the assemblies and spindle speed changing both done by hydraulic power and all controls grouped on the head stock. The feed range is wide and covers manual power and fine feeds, and the feed can be engaged and disengaged at any point in a stroke, with a feed safety device fitted. Main parts are cut on machining centres, castings are produced on casting equipment to control the quality of the basic parts, and the spindle parts are made from special steel and heat treated for strength and wear life. The result is a machine intended for extensive use rather than occasional hole work.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Digital readout gives accurate hole positioning instead of setting from scales by eye
- Feed can be engaged and disengaged at any point in the stroke without stopping the spindle
- Feed safety device protects the drive when the tool binds
- Hydraulic clamping and speed change keep the operator at the head stock controls
- Wide speed and feed range including manual power feed and fine feeds
- Main parts machined on machining centres so bores and faces stay in alignment
- Spindle parts made from special steel and heat treated for strength and durability
- Castings produced on casting equipment to control the quality of the basic parts
Where Radial Drilling Machine Z3040x16 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Setting hole position from machine scales leaves cumulative error across a pattern
- Disengaging the feed mid stroke on a plain machine means stopping the spindle
- A drive without a feed safety device breaks tools and gears when the drill binds
- Misaligned bores in a head made on general machines cause heat and wear
- Untreated spindle parts wear quickly under continuous heavy drilling
Who It Is For
- Machine shops drilling to positional tolerance on large parts
- Heavy fabrication and structural workshops
- Machinery and equipment builders
- Subcontract shops whose hole positions are inspected on delivery
- Distributors supplying radial drilling machines with digital readout
Application Scenarios
- Positional hole patterns where the coordinates come straight off a drawing
- Drilling large weldments and plates where repositioning by scale would be slow
- Fine feed finishing passes on thin or delicate sections
- Tapping and reaming after drilling in the same setting
- Production drilling of repeat parts where hole position is inspected
- Heavy continuous drilling in a shop running the machine across full shifts

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Radial drilling machines Z3040x16/1 and ZQ3050x20/1 | The /1 machines share the hydraulic clamping and speed change; the /2 series adds the digital readout so hole positions are set to a displayed coordinate |
|---|---|
| Mechanical radial drilling machines Z3032x8/1 and Z3040x8 | The mechanical machines clamp by hand and have no readout; the /2 series is the choice where hole position is inspected and the head moves constantly |
| Marking out and drilling to a punched centre | Centre punching carries the marking error into the hole; the readout positions the spindle from the coordinate itself |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the workpiece on the base plate and establish a datum corner
Step 2
Zero the digital readout on the datum
Step 3
Move the arm and head to the displayed coordinate for the first hole and clamp hydraulically
Step 4
Select the spindle speed and feed at the head stock controls
Step 5
Engage the feed and drill, disengaging at any point if the cut needs checking
Step 6
Move to the next coordinate on the readout without re-marking the part
Step 7
Leave the feed safety device set rather than overriding it to push a heavier cut

Questions About Radial Drilling Machine Z3040x16
What does the digital readout do?
It displays the spindle position so the arm and head are moved to a coordinate from the drawing instead of being set from the machine scales. That is what keeps a hole pattern accurate across a large part.
Can the feed be stopped mid hole?
Yes. The feed is easily engaged and disengaged at any time, and a feed safety device is fitted to protect the drive.
How are the main parts made?
Main parts are machined on machining centres, castings are produced on casting equipment, and spindle parts are made from special steel and heat treated.
What is the difference between the /1 and /2 series?
The /2 series adds the digital readout. Hydraulic clamping hydraulic speed change and head stock controls are on both.
Which model should I choose?
Z3040x16/2 Z3050x16/2 and ZQ3050x20/2 differ in drilling diameter and arm reach. Send us your largest hole size and the furthest hole from the column and we will confirm the model.
What are the shipping arrangements?
The machines are packed in wooden cases. Send us the model and we will confirm case dimensions net weight gross weight and foundation requirements before shipment.
What are your trade and payment terms?
We quote FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T with the order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
