Kays Engineering Inc.
The TechniDrill 2.00-30-48 gundrilling machine is used to manufacture airplane aileron actuation cylinders. The actuation cylinder starts as a solid bar. The gundrilling machine drills the large primary hole in a single pass, without the need for a pilot hole. Secondary processes are then used to finish the cylinder.
The TechniDrill 2.00-30-48 has a gundrilling diameter capacity of 2.0" (50.8mm) and a maximum gundrilling depth of 48" (1,219mm). It features a 30hp AC spindle motor and two-speed gearbox to provide versatile gundrilling performance. The workpiece is counter-rotated during gundrilling via pneumatically operated 3-jaw chucks, which increases the accuracy of the drilled hole.
TechniDrill gundrilling machines are designed and manufactured by Kays Engineering in Marshall, Missouri.
