Here is how you can turn Excellon technology into profit for your business. A widely known company had a sophisticated backplane job that used to take four hours 10 minutes to be drilled on a standard Uniline. The 170K RPM spindles were installed as an enhancement and the cycle time decreased to one hour and 40 minutes. This is a productivity increase of 250 percent. The production-proven 170K RPM have been installed in a demanding 24 hours per day, seven days a week environment since the beginning of the year. They are drilling four-layer product (0.040" thick, two high) 0.010" drills with a 0.001" chip load. One of the machines recently drilled 400,000 holes without breaking a drill.
The 170K RPM spindle is available as a product enhancement or with new machine purchases. For more information visit http://www.excellon.com/MechanicalProducts/Misc/170kSpindle.htm.
