UNISIG PRESENTS NEW MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS
FOR MOLD MAKERS
UNISIG adds five new models to its proven
range of deep drilling and milling centers.
With the new range of UNISIG's USC-M deep
drilling and milling centers, mold makers
now have seven powerful and versatile
solutions for workpiece diameters of up to
3.600 mm and workpiece weights of up to
30 t. All machines combine several processes
in one machine: the deep hole drilling and
milling on all four sides of a workpiece, while
at the same time reducing setup times and
increasing accuracy for mold makers. All
machines support the high feed rates of
modern indexable gundrill tools.

In addition to the use of gundrill deep
hole drilling tools, some models can even
support the more effective BTA deep hole
drilling tools for the high performance
drilling of waterline holes. A CAT50 quill
allows you to perform all deep hole drilling
and machining operations within the
machine's working range. The machines are
equipped with a 360-degree rotary work
table and a programmable deep drilling and
machining spindle. These can be aligned via
a pivot axis with 30 degrees down and 15
degrees upwards. The latest Heidenhain TNC
640 CNC controller and Heidenhain motors
and drives are used. A full guarding with oil
mist extraction completes the equipment.
This machine series has now been extended
by 4-6 axis machines, for deep hole drilling
with gundrilling tools and milling, with a
universal spindle and a short changeover
between deep drilling and milling
operations for the efficient production of
small to medium sized workpieces.
In addition, 5-7 axis machines are available
for the use of gundrilling and more
efficient BTA deep hole drilling tools, each
with a dedicated spindle for deep drilling
and milling, to dramatically increase
performance for mold makers.
