What This Machine Does
These are the hydraulic radial drills. Clamping of the assemblies and spindle speed changing are both done by hydraulic power, which means the arm and head lock and release at a lever instead of by winding a mechanical clamp, and the speed changes without the head being stopped and opened. All the controls are grouped on the head stock, so the operator stands in one place through a hole. Every model in the group has 16 spindle speed steps: Z3050x12/1 runs 25 to 2000 r/min with 16 feed steps from 0.04 to 3.2 mm/r on a 350 mm column with an MT5 spindle and 50 mm drilling capacity, while Z3040x13/1 Z3040x10/1 and Z3032x10/1 run 32 to 2500 r/min with 8 feed steps from 0.10 to 1.25 mm/r on MT4 spindles with 280 mm of travel. Reach runs from 300 mm out to 1300 mm on Z3040x13/1, the longest arm in this group. The worktable measures 630 x 500 mm.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Hydraulic clamping locks and releases the arm and head at a lever which speeds up repositioning
- Hydraulic spindle speed changing selects a new speed without opening the head
- 16 spindle speed steps on every model cover small drills through to full capacity
- 0.04 to 3.2 mm/r in 16 feed steps on Z3050x12/1 for fine and heavy feeds on one machine
- All controls centralised on the head stock so the operator works from one position
- Z3040x13/1 reaches 1300 mm which covers wide parts on a 40 mm capacity machine
- 315 mm manual and 115 mm automatic spindle travel on Z3050x12/1 for deep holes
Where Radial Drilling Machine Z3050x12 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Mechanical clamping is slow when the head has to be moved for every hole in a pattern
- Stopping to change spindle speed mechanically interrupts a drilling sequence
- Controls spread around the machine make the operator walk around it between holes
- Too few feed steps force a compromise feed on thin sections and heavy cuts alike
- Short spindle travel means the head has to be reset part way through a deep hole
Who It Is For
- Machine shops drilling large multi-hole components
- Pressure vessel and heavy fabrication workshops
- Machinery and equipment manufacturers
- Repair shops handling large assemblies
- Distributors supplying hydraulic radial drilling machines
Application Scenarios
- Multi-hole drilling on large plates and weldments where the head repositions constantly
- Bolt circles on large flanges and covers using the long arm models
- Deep hole drilling using the 315 mm manual spindle travel on Z3050x12/1
- Fine feed work on thin sections using the 0.04 mm/r feed step
- Tapping and reaming after drilling without moving the workpiece
- Production drilling where the speed changes between holes on the same part

- Operating language manual and control plate text prepared for your workshop
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Mechanical radial drilling machines Z3032x8/1 and Z3040x8 | Mechanical clamping has less hydraulic plumbing; these hydraulic machines clamp and change speed at a lever which pays off when the head moves for every hole |
|---|---|
| Radial drilling machines Z3040x16/1 and ZQ3050x20/1 | Those models take the arm out to 1600 and 2000 mm on a 350 mm column; this group stops at 1300 mm and includes the lighter 240 mm column machines |
| Radial drilling machine Z3040x16/2 with digital readout | The /2 series adds a digital readout for hole positioning; this group positions by the machine scales and the operator |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the workpiece on the 630 x 500 mm worktable or directly on the base plate
Step 2
Swing the arm and traverse the head over the hole then clamp hydraulically
Step 3
Select one of the 16 spindle speeds from the head stock controls
Step 4
Select the feed step fine for thin sections and heavy for full capacity drilling
Step 5
Engage the automatic feed and drill the hole
Step 6
Use the manual spindle travel for deep holes beyond the automatic stroke
Step 7
Release the hydraulic clamp and move to the next hole without unclamping the part

Questions About Radial Drilling Machine Z3050x12
Which model has the longest arm?
Z3040x13/1 at 300 to 1300 mm from spindle axis to the column generating line. Z3050x12/1 reaches 350 to 1250 mm but takes 50 mm drills on an MT5 spindle.
What does hydraulic clamping change in daily use?
Clamping of the assemblies and spindle speed changing are done by hydraulic power, so the arm and head lock and release at a lever and speeds change without stopping and opening the head.
How many speeds and feeds does it have?
16 spindle speed steps on every model. Feeds are 16 steps from 0.04 to 3.2 mm/r on Z3050x12/1 and 8 steps from 0.10 to 1.25 mm/r on the Z3040 and Z3032 models.
What is the spindle travel?
315 mm manual and 115 mm automatic on Z3050x12/1, and 280 mm on Z3040x13/1 Z3040x10/1 and Z3032x10/1.
What tooling fits the spindle?
MT5 on Z3050x12/1 and MT4 on the other three models. Tell us your existing tooling and we will confirm sleeves and adaptors.
What are the shipping weight and case size?
These depend on the model and whether a coolant system is fitted. Send us the model and we will confirm case dimensions net weight and gross weight on the proforma invoice.
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.
