Walter has unveiled the new Drion·tec® E-Peak D5150, a replaceable head drill that the company describes as marking the “peak of productivity” in solid drilling operations. According to Walter, the D5150 enables enormously high Feed rates and metal removal rates, which significantly reduces the cost per hole. Pilot drilling is not required – and the replaceable head (DS50) can be exchanged directly in the machine without screws. Both of these features reduce machining and set-up times.
The drill body of the D5150 has reinforced radial contact points and inclined axial contact surfaces that ideally absorb any Cutting forces that occur. The three-dimensional flute geometry with a large axis angle, in combination with a powerful internal coolant, enables efficient, reliable chip evacuation even with inclined or curved workpiece surfaces.
In addition to high productivity, the Walter replaceable head drill impresses with its high process reliability. This comes from the stable, patented cutting point design with axial pull-out protection. It ensures risk-free retracting and retains its release torque even after numerous head changes. The Low-vibration DS50 interchangeable heads guarantee excellent centering and drilling quality thanks to their free grinding and Point angle.
Thanks to its universal M geometry and two Cutting material grades (WPP35 and WMS35), the D5150 can be used with a wide cutting data window in all ISO material groups P, M and S, as well as in K, N and H. Customization is simple via “plug & play” with the recommended parameters. Walter is initially launching the D5150 with Ø 9-17.99 mm (including inch nominal diameters), and in drilling depths of 3×D, 5×D and 8×D. Several head dimensions can be used in the same drill body, which also reduces storage and purchasing costs.
