Bohle
Expands Glass Drilling Range
Bohle’s
manufacturing expertise, dating back more than 80 years, has now been
applied to the development of a new collection of drilling machines.
Unveiled at Glasstec 2004, these latest additions ensure the precise
and effective production of drill holes and are available direct from
Bohle UK’s dedicated machinery sales and support division based
in Manchester.
One
of the key players in Bohle’s new drilling range is the Super Drill
Eco 2/1000-2a, capable of drilling glass thicknesses from 3mm to 20mm
(40mm single-sided). Developed specifically for what Bohle calls the
‘midfield’, this double-sided machine has digital forward
feed of the upper and lower drill heads. In addition to offering value
for money, it features user-friendly adjustability and a reach of 1000mm.
It also has variable speed control, from 250 to 3600 rpm, plus easy
adjustment when changing tools. A variety of optional supplementary
equipment is also available, including different table sizes, stopper
system and positioning laser. A semi-automatic model (1a) with mechanical
forward feed is also available on request.
The Eco glass drilling machines offer a cost-effective alternative to
Bohle’s new
top-of-the-range Super Drill 2/1300, designed to satisfy even the most
demanding applications. This fully automatic driller is available with
or without an integrated digital glass sheet positioning system. Automatic
positioning systems are indispensable in achieving optimum precision
during horizontal drilling of small and medium-sized glass sheets, as
well as special glass. More than 50 programs, with 30 different drill
settings each, can be saved on the positioning system’s memory
card. Drilling data can even be recorded on a PC away from the machine.
As an additional feature, a display on the drilling machine, shown either
as a picture or table as preferred, makes the operator’s job easier
and provides visual clarification.
Gary Dean, Managing Director of Bohle UK, comments: ‘With these
latest developments, Bohle is demonstrating its continuing commitment
to providing glaziers and glass processing shops with high quality,
easy to operate equipment at an affordable price.’
