Stiles Machinery is launching the HOMAG DRILLTEQ D-110, their latest stand-alone horizontal drilling and dowel-inserting CNC machine. Designed with precision engineering by HOMAG and assembled in the United States, the DRILLTEQ D-110 is a stand-alone machine.
Features of the DRILLTEQ D-110 include:
- Three individually selectable horizontal drill spindles
- Machine controlled side and center fences for enhanced flexibility
- Motorized control of X, Y, and Z axes for precise positioning
- 4–8 individually adjusting clamping cylinders for secure holding
- Carry up to two doweling systems for automated insertion of various dowel diameters
- Barcode reading with a cordless scanner to streamline workflow
- intelliGuide LED operator guidance system for ease of use
“This machine has been designed to meet the evolving needs of modern shops, ensuring that it can handle anything thrown at it—and do it efficiently,” said David McFarland, CNC senior project manager for Stiles Machinery. “By manufacturing and assembling these machines here in the U.S., we can customize and quality check them right here in our Grand Rapids facility and ship them directly to the customer, resulting in dependable machines fully calibrated to offer precision and reliability from day one.”
The DRILLTEQ D-110 is equipped with three independently controllable drilling spindles and allows for the simultaneous processing of up to four workpieces. Combined with motorized axis control, this capability significantly increases manufacturers’ productivity potential.
The dowel insertion system includes a high-volume vibratory conveyor, a dowel singulation chamber, and a doweling unit, all of which contribute to the machine’s consistent and reliable performance. This system is shared across the DRILLTEQ series due to its reliable and easy-to-maintain design.
The DRILLTEQ D-110 also features HOMAG’s intelliGuide operator assistance system. A pioneer in drilling and panel-dividing technology, intelliGuide allows the drill to interactively respond to the operator via an optical LED assistance system, offering additional guidance and handling instructions. This reduces the mental load on the operator, leading to more focused and efficient wood processing with reduced errors.
