What This Machine Does
These are the heavy machines in the radial drilling range, for holes of 80 mm and 63 mm on arms of 2500 mm and 2000 mm. At that size the hole is not the difficulty, the rigidity is, and the construction is where the money goes: the castings are produced on casting equipment to control the quality of the basic parts, the main parts are machined on machining centres so the bores stay in line, the main gears are machined to specification, and the spindle parts are made from special steel and heat treated for strength and durability. The machine brings mechanical electrical and hydraulic functions together. Clamping of the assemblies and spindle speed changing are hydraulic and all controls sit on the head stock, so the operator works from one position on a machine this size. The speed and feed range is wide and includes manual power and fine feeds, the feed can be engaged and disengaged at any point in a stroke, and a feed safety device is fitted.

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Radial drilling machines Z3050x16/1 and ZQ3050x20/1 | Those cover 40 and 50 mm drilling on arms to 2000 mm; these are heavier machines built for 63 and 80 mm holes with heat treated spindle parts for the loads that come with them |
|---|---|
| Mechanical radial drilling machines Z3032x8/1 and Z3040x8 | The mechanical machines are simpler and clamp by hand for medium parts; these are hydraulic machines several capacity classes above them |
| Flame cutting or plasma cutting the hole | Thermal cutting is fast but leaves a heat affected edge and poor position accuracy; a drilled hole is round on size and ready for a fitted bolt |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Set the machine on a foundation suited to its weight and check the arm is level
Step 2
Clamp the workpiece on the base plate before swinging the arm over it
Step 3
Position the head along the arm and clamp the assemblies hydraulically
Step 4
Select the spindle speed and feed at the head stock controls
Step 5
Use a pilot hole before a full 63 or 80 mm drill in solid material
Step 6
Engage the feed and disengage it at any point if the cut needs checking
Step 7
Leave the feed safety device set rather than overriding it to force a heavier cut

Questions About Radial Drilling Machine Z3080x25 and Z3063x2
What is the largest hole these machines drill?
80 mm on Z3080x25 and 63 mm on Z3063x20A. Arm lengths are 2500 mm and 2000 mm respectively.
How are the spindle parts made?
From special steel and heat treated on first class equipment, which is what gives the strength and durability needed at this drilling capacity.
Are the clamping and speed change hydraulic?
Yes. Clamping of the assemblies and spindle speed changing are both achieved by hydraulic power, and all controls are grouped on the head stock.
Can the feed be disengaged during a cut?
Yes. The feed is easily engaged and disengaged at any time, and a feed safety device is fitted to protect the machine and the tooling.
What foundation does a machine this size need?
These are heavy machines with long arms. Send us the model and your floor details and we will provide the foundation drawing before delivery.
How are they packed and shipped?
In wooden cases, usually with the arm and column handled separately. We confirm case dimensions net weight and gross weight on the proforma invoice and can quote FOB CFR or CIF.
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.
