The best results when drilling into wood, metal or plastic are achieved when the entire process is precisely controllable. Each material has its own specific characteristics and the drilling must be adjusted accordingly. This prevents damage. Take drilling into wood as an example. If the RPM is too high, there is a risk of heat damage. Even if the drill encounters foreign material (a nail, for example), it must be possible to react quickly in order to prevent damage to the tool and the workpiece.

Much of this process can be automated. Take as an example the nail in the wood: then within the process an increase in resistance, a blockage, is registered in a very short time. Then the drive is stopped, a signal is given and the speed is adjusted. Temperature is also a parameter that can be controlled. To automate this process, Tooldrives has chosen the Groschopp servomotor EGK 48-60 NR. A compact servomotor with high power density, very dynamic and high positioning accuracy. This motor can be equipped with different types of gears and, if desired, can be supplied in stainless steel.
The DNA of the drilling process is the correct alignment of tool, material, spindle speed and drill feed rate. Groschopp's servo motor is a key component for optimizing this process fully automatically.
