Manufacturers increasingly rely on cutting tools with internal cooling channels, but drilling these channels becomes more difficult as tools get longer. Nagel Precision says its latest deep-hole drilling systems are designed to address that challenge through single-lip deep-hole drilling, configurable machine layouts, and optional automation for production environments.
The company’s system is offered with one to four spindles, drilling diameters from 3mm to 22mm, and drilling depths up to 1,250mm. Nagel Precision said the configuration targets applications where hole straightness and process stability are important, including coolant channel drilling in long workpieces.
Nagel Precision said the machines can be supplied as stand-alone units or integrated as turnkey cells with automation. Optional robotic loading and unloading is intended to support higher-throughput operation and reduce reliance on manual handling, while the company said setup processes are designed to limit downtime.
Jason Collins of Nagel Precision said manufacturers are seeking flexibility as production requirements shift between one-off parts and series manufacturing. Collins also said the company aims to provide tools, service, and application engineering alongside the machine as a bundled offering.
The company said the equipment combines German engineering design with manufacturing and service capability in the United States, positioning local support as a factor for maintaining uptime in production settings.
