Multi-Station CNC Gun Drilling Machine

Multi-Station Gun Drilling for Repeat Production

A multi-station gun drilling machine is intended for manufacturers that need a repeatable workflow for families of deep-hole parts. Instead of treating every component as a stand-alone manual setup, the machine layout, workholding, CNC program and loading method are planned as one production system. Dezhou Guanghe Machine Tool Co., Ltd. supplies customized CNC gun drilling solutions based on the actual workpiece, hole and production requirements provided by the customer.

Important: “Multi-Station” describes a configurable production layout. The station quantity, spindle arrangement, workholding, automation level and process sequence are confirmed only after technical review. No fixed station count or cycle time is claimed on this page.

What the Solution Can Be Configured Around

• Workpiece: drawing, material, overall dimensions, weight, datum and clamping surfaces.
• Hole: diameter, depth, length-to-diameter ratio, through or blind hole, stepped features, entry position and exit condition.
• Process: external-chip-removal gun drilling, coolant and filtration requirements, tool guidance and chip evacuation.
• Production: part variants, target quantity, loading method, inspection plan and desired cycle objective.
• Integration: CNC control preference, guarding, operator access and connection with upstream or downstream equipment.

Typical Multi-Station Planning Options

Depending on the component and the required sequence, a customized system may use repeated workholding positions, indexed processing positions or a coordinated loading and machining arrangement. Guanghe engineers review the production objective before recommending a layout. The goal is to reduce repeated handling, keep the datum strategy consistent and make the process easier to operate and verify.

The base gun-drilling process uses a guided tool and high-pressure cutting fluid to support chip removal during deep-hole machining. CNC control can organize positioning and the automatic machining cycle. The final solution may also include suitable workholding, coolant filtration, safety guarding and inspection interfaces according to the confirmed specification.

When a Multi-Station Layout Makes Sense

• Repeat production of the same part or a controlled family of parts.
• Components with several deep holes or repeated hole patterns.
• Applications where manual repositioning creates avoidable variation.
• Projects that require a defined loading, clamping, drilling and inspection workflow.
• Production teams seeking a purpose-built CNC gun drilling cell instead of a general-purpose machine.

Engineering Review Before Quotation

Machine selection should not be based on a keyword or a nominal model alone. A technically valid quotation begins with the workpiece drawing and the required hole data. Guanghe reviews machinability, tool access, datum selection, clamping, chip evacuation, coolant and the intended production rhythm. If a multi-station arrangement is not the most suitable choice, the engineering team can compare it with a single-station CNC gun drilling solution.

Information to Send

1. 2D or 3D workpiece drawing.
2. Material and heat-treatment condition.
3. Hole diameter, depth, tolerance and surface requirement.
4. Through hole, blind hole or stepped-hole details.
5. Required quantity per shift, day or month.
6. Preferred loading method and available floor space.
7. Any required inspection, automation or control standard.

Why Work With Guanghe

Guanghe focuses on high-precision deep-hole machine tools and provides one-stop research, development and customized production support. The project team can evaluate gun drilling, deep-hole drilling and boring, honing and related process requirements as part of the overall manufacturing route. This allows the proposed machine configuration to be discussed against the part and process instead of relying on a generic catalogue description.

Request a Multi-Station Technical Proposal

Send your drawing and production target to receive a configuration discussion covering workholding, station concept, gun-drilling process, coolant and filtration, control, safety and acceptance requirements. The final machine specification is agreed in the technical proposal and contract.
