VH10 Series Multi-Spindle Drill Heads
Please contact for prices
The VH10 Series multi-spindle drill heads are engineered for maximum strength, precision, and adaptability in industrial drilling applications. Equipped with ER20 spindles for larger tool diameters, the VH10 Series is ideal for heavy-duty production work in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Its modular design supports radial and linear spindle arrangements to suit a wide range of part geometries.
The VH10 Series combines robust housing design with precision-ground ER20 spindles, making it capable of drilling larger hole diameters and handling tougher materials while maintaining synchronous operation at up to 4,000 RPM.
Available in 2, 3, or 4 spindle versions, the VH10 Series offers flexibility in both radial and linear spindle layouts, allowing for multi-hole patterns to be produced in a single operation. The heads feature a 1:1 gear ratio for balanced torque distribution and minimal vibration, ensuring longer tool life and improved hole accuracy.
These drill heads are well-suited for use in transfer lines, CNC gantries, automation systems, and large-scale fixture-mounted production setups.

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.
