- Description
- Additional Info
The VH18 Series combines reinforced housing, precision-ground gearing, and ER32 spindles for maximum performance in large-hole drilling applications. Capable of drilling up to Ø 20 mm in steel and Ø 22 mm in cast iron, these heads deliver synchronized, vibration-free operation at speeds up to 3,000 RPM.
Available in 2, 3, and 4 spindle variants, the VH18 series supports both radial and linear spindle configurations, allowing for custom drilling patterns in a single pass. The high-torque design makes these heads suitable for CNC machining centers, heavy-duty transfer lines, and fixed drilling installations.

How These Devices Attach to the Drill Press
The VH series heads are designed to be compatible with standard pillar drills using several standardized attachment methods to ensure secure and efficient operation. The attachment mechanisms follow DIN standards, which dictate the type of tooling interfaces that can be used. Below is an explanation of the DIN standards that are applicable and how they affect the attachment of the device to the drill press:
Installation and Setup
The VH series heads are designed for quick and easy installation on standard drill presses.
- Quick Installation: Tooling interfaces like collet chucks and drill sleeves allow for rapid installation of the VH series heads. Operators can swiftly change out heads as needed, enabling different operations without significant delays.
- Easy Setup: Once the appropriate attachment method (sleeve, collet chuck, or steep taper) is selected, aligning and securing the VH series head is straightforward. This ensures repeatability in positioning and operational accuracy.
Heavy-duty ER32 multi-spindle drill heads for high-capacity drilling, available in 2–4 spindle configurations with radial or linear layouts.
