    VH08 drill heads offer superior performance for multiple-hole drilling operations where tool size, center-to-center spacing, and mechanical rigidity are critical. Designed for 2, 3, or 4-spindle use, the VH08 Series supports both radial and linear layouts, providing optimal flexibility for production planners.

    Capable of drilling up to Ø 10 mm in cast iron and Ø 8 mm in steel, each model features 1:1 synchronized spindle gearing and can operate up to 4,000 RPM. Constructed for continuous-duty cycles, these units integrate seamlessly into drilling stations, feed units, or automation platforms.

    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.

    How Your Drill Machine Connects to a Multi-Spindle HeadTypical 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.
