T-E22L Six-Pack Dual-Channel Six-Sided Drill

Overview

The T-E22L series is a six-pack CNC six-sided drilling line, and one specification table covers both models: T-E22L and T-E22AL. They share the one-piece high-strength steel frame and the dual-channel, dual-station layout - four upper and two lower drill packs, with each channel able to run any file independently, so one panel is machined while the next loads in the other channel. Panel length is 250-2800 mm, width 50-800 mm in each of the left and right channels, thickness 9-50 mm. The drives are EtherCAT bus AC servo, positioning speed reaches 130 m/min on the X1 and U1 axes, and the machine suits multi-shift running with a short learning curve.

T-E22L or T-E22AL

Drill packs, machining range, frame and grippers are identical; the difference is the spindle and the magazine. T-E22L runs 3.5 kW upper spindles with no magazine and covers six-side boring plus grooving and shaping on both faces. T-E22AL runs a 6 kW automatic tool change spindle with a 5-position servo magazine, so it can change tools mid-cycle and additionally machine light-strip grooves, straightener grooves, handle grooves, three-side shaping and concealed-hinge shaping; total power rises from 46 kW to 50 kW. Neither model carries a three-direction side milling head.

In-line configuration

The series is supplied for an in-line layout: panels travel over the roller table and the infeed and outfeed conveyors. Air-bearing holes across the infeed and outfeed tables protect the panel face while it slides; extended Y-axis rails hold the working speed, and dual clamps with an automatic side clamping device keep the part steady in travel.

Integrated drill packs

The six packs divide the top and bottom faces: every upper pack carries 12 vertical drills, 6 horizontal drills (4 in X plus 2 in Y) and 12 assist cylinders, every lower pack 6 vertical drills and 2 assist cylinders, with 12 pressure pads built into the pack body. The bespoke integrated packs carry built-in pressure rollers and run at 90% utilisation, lifting output by 30-45%. Minimum vertical hole distance is 60 mm, minimum horizontal hole distance 128 mm in the vertical direction and 210 mm across the feed direction. Hinge boring is integrated in the upper drill pack, so no separate machine is needed; shaped parts can be machined as well.

Three-position lifting grippers

The patented grippers work at three heights: below the table when loading, so a panel slides on easily; above it when idling, so the face is not scratched; level with it during cutting, which holds the accuracy of horizontal holes in small parts. They also extract dust and change automatically, which reduces how often grippers are swapped.

Frame and accuracy

The body is a one-piece, frame-style high-strength steel structure, fully welded - not the assembled frames used by other brands. The welded frame is finished on an imported gantry mill to hold structural stability and accuracy, then annealed to relieve stress so it stays true over long service.

Dynamic acceleration

The machine runs the customised 3VJIA design system, and its proprietary dynamic acceleration package covers adaptive grooving speed, dynamic positioning of shaped parts and the shortest tool lift path, and each tool slot can take its own offset.

Software link-up

The open interface reads MPR, XML, DXF and BAN and connects directly to nesting and cutting-list software. No programming is required: scan the QR code and the panel is machined.

Against the four-pack model

The T-E22 series covers the top and bottom faces with six packs, so more rows of holes are drilled in a single pass - which suits a wide product range and panels with dense hole patterns. Where the work is mostly cabinet panels with a concentrated set of hole specifications, the four-pack T-E22F six-sided drill costs less to equip.
