VH18 Series Multi-Spindle Drill Heads
Please contact for prices
The VH18 Series multi-spindle drill heads are designed for the most demanding industrial drilling applications, offering exceptional strength, accuracy, and load capacity. Equipped with ER32 spindles, these units support large-diameter tooling, high torque levels, and extended-duty operation, making them ideal for steel, cast iron, and other challenging materials.
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 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.
