In search of productivity growth Sermeca started with market research in order to find a machine with better performances and of which tools didn't had to be exchanged. "At the demonstration of the Drillflex by Haco in Belgium, our first impression was seeing a mechanical machine, much more than a typical drill machine with solid carbide drills and exchangeable tipped drills. We wanted to leave the generation of traditional drill machines", Claude Buhnemann, CEO of Sermeca remarks.
"With the Drillflex we can keep delivery times short which is an advantage. Our added value isn't debiting tons of steel per month. We need to drill very fast, for example elongated holes. Traditionally this kind of operations forced us to do the job on another post. Today, with the Drillflex of Haco Mubea, this kind of operation is greatly simplified while we avoid handling with different tools in the workplace. Besides, the holes often have a different diameter on the same piece. The Drillflex is capable of drilling up to a diameter of 40 millimeters over the entire length without us having to change tools con-stantly."
“The unique part of the Drillflex is that next to drilling, milling is possible too. Multiple types of holes can be milled, what makes the Drillflex a unique price/quality machine. At the level of drilling, it has changed the way of working. The old drill line didn't drill continuously over a series of alternate holes (e.g. diameter 12, then 14, then 16, then 12, ...). At each hole we had to change tools, while other holes with the same diameter had to be realized further on the beam. All this is no longer the case with the new Haco Mubea Drillflex."
You could easily say that, overall, the acquisition of The Drillflex has allowed us to increase productivity by about 30%"
The MUBEA-DRILLFLEX type DF-1100 is capable of processing following profiles by means of horizontal drilling of holes with maximum diameter of 40 mm. (Option 50mm). The position and accuracy of the holes to be drilled is determined by the CNC program.
The basic, standard model features a working length of 12.200 mm (40 Ft).
All profiles or working pieces with a section of max. 1100 x 1100 mm and min. 30 x 30 mm can be processed.
= Max. working length 12.200 mm (40 Ft)
The portal features three 3 CNC axes :
All clamping systems are hydraulic :
The machine is standard executed with a SIEMENS control type SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840 D Solution line. The programs are hereby prepared off-line (in the office) and transferred to the control by means of one of following options :
The machine and its components as a whole is EC approved and a EC Certificate is delivered with the machine. Attention: this is only valid for the machine. Depending on the local situation , the working environment should be CE approved separately.
The total installed power of the machine is 25 Kw, Voltage 3 x 400 Volt/50 HZ, fuses 40 Amp.
