VH04 Series Multi-Spindle Drill Heads
Please contact for prices
The VH04 Series includes compact multi-spindle drill heads designed for precision parallel or radial drilling in serial production environments. Available in 2-, 3-, or 4-spindle versions, these units are ideal for small part fabrication, fixture-mounted setups, and CNC drilling automation.
Designed for efficiency and accuracy, VH04 Series drill heads feature synchronous gear-driven operation, lightweight bodies, and tight spindle spacing for dense drilling patterns. With a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM and 1:1 gear ratio, each head provides reliable performance in steel, cast iron, and aluminum drilling operations.
Each unit accepts ER8 tools up to Ø 5 mm and is suited for mounting to custom fixtures, gantry systems, or drill stands in automated production setups. Multiple configurations are available to accommodate both linear and radial hole arrangements.

How These Devices Attach to the Drill Press
The VH series heads are designed to be compatible with standard pillar drills using several standardised attachment methods to ensure secure and efficient operation. The attachment arrangement depends on the spindle connection fitted to the drill machine, typically Jacobs Taper (B10, B12, B16, B18) or Morse Taper (MT1–MT5). The guide below illustrates the connection components, assembly sequence and information required to specify the correct multi-spindle head configuration.
Typical connection arrangements for Jacobs Taper and Morse Taper drill spindles, including the dimensions required to select the correct connection collar and adapter.
The attachment mechanisms follow established industrial standards and allow the multi-spindle head to be securely mounted to a wide range of production drilling machines. Providing the correct spindle connection details and collar dimensions ensures the head is supplied ready for installation on your machine.
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.
