MINI DRILL PRESS / MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL:
SERVO PRODUCTS’ NEW MICRO DRILL PRESS FEATURES A REVOLUTIONARY BRUSHLESS MOTOR, AND WHEN COUPLED WITH THE NEW 708-CNC CONTROLLER; IT OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF CAPABILITY.
Eastlake, OH−October 2020
Programmable mini-drill presses have been on the market for many years for single hole drilling applications where small precision holes are required. Consistently, however, there have been limits to their overall performance and programming capabilities. In addition to limited motor speed/direction control and low torque, the brush motors could wear through a set of brushes in 6 weeks in continuous use applications.
As a way to deliver maximum performance and reliability, SERVO® Products Co. (Eastlake, OH), a progressive designer and manufacturer of a broad line of knee-type milling machine accessories since 1964, has recently developed their new Mini Drill press and the 708-CNC control option. Unique to the market and made in the USA, the Mini Drill Press and microprocessor-controlled quill feed unit represents a complete re-design to modern technology - featuring a brushless DC motor (no carbon dust) with higher RPM; and with the 708-CNC option, precision program control for peck drilling, and reaming cycles, and deep hole drilling.
Essentially a complete mini drill press with a brushless motor programmed via CNC panel, SERVO’s model 708-CNC offers the ability to download, upload, and store hundreds of integrated speed and motion direction programs on one controller...delivering infinite program control!
SERVO MINI-DRILL PRESS / INDUSTRY FIRST FEATURES:
BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR: Ideal for continuous use (24/7) applications, where downtime and carbon dust is not desirable, SERVO’s Mini Drill Presses with the Model 708-CNC control keeps running without the need to change brushes. It also offers better speed regulation and more torque.
CNC PANEL CONTROL: Switching the spindle direction from forward to reverse and back, and spindle RPM controls, are now the standard on SERVO’s Model 708-CNC. The programmable control now integrates spindle RPM, direction, and motion control via a true CNC panel. If you program 12,500 RPMs and .25 IPM travel...that’s exactly what you’ll get!
SERVO MINI-DRILL PRESS / KEY SPECS:
• Available with Yukiwa or Albrecht chucks or WW collets for even more precision
• 12”, 19”, or offset column and inch or metric calibration
• Spindle runout achieves a very high accuracy / precision of .0002” TIR
• Encoder on the drive motor makes movement very precise and accurate–repeatable to within .0005” • Optional foot switch (M-710) can be added to any Servo drill pressSERVO MINI-DRILL PRESS MARKETS / CONCLUSION:
Competitively priced, SERVO’s Mini Drill Press and Model 708-CNC mini-drill press delivers high-reliability and maximum performance for single-hole drilling applications including: automotive, aerospace, computer and electronic, medical devices, musical instruments, jewelry, EDM, and molded parts–as well as for laboratory and engineering department applications.
According to Servo Engineer, Garry Yaworski, “The 708-CNC’s distinct performance features are revolutionary for a myriad of industries and applications. Currently, we have a medical company who uses it in their robotic automation cells that require a 100% duty cycle operation.”
Related Glossary Terms
- calibration
calibration
Checking measuring instruments and devices against a master set to ensure that, over time, they have remained dimensionally stable and nominally accurate.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- drilling machine ( drill press)
drilling machine ( drill press)
Machine designed to rotate end-cutting tools. Can also be used for reaming, tapping, countersinking, counterboring, spotfacing and boring.
- electrical-discharge machining ( EDM)
electrical-discharge machining ( EDM)
Process that vaporizes conductive materials by controlled application of pulsed electrical current that flows between a workpiece and electrode (tool) in a dielectric fluid. Permits machining shapes to tight accuracies without the internal stresses conventional machining often generates. Useful in diemaking.
- feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- inches per minute ( ipm)
inches per minute ( ipm)
Value that refers to how far the workpiece or cutter advances linearly in 1 minute, defined as: ipm = ipt 5 number of effective teeth 5 rpm. Also known as the table feed or machine feed.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- milling machine ( mill)
milling machine ( mill)
Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.
- total indicator runout ( TIR)
total indicator runout ( TIR)
Combined variations of all dimensions of a workpiece, measured with an indicator, determined by rotating the part 360°.
