A BTA drilling quick-stop device (QSD) and a method, wherein the BTA drilling QSD includes a base. The base includes a hollow cavity. A side portion of the base has an opening communicating with the hollow cavity. The opening is closed by a through cover. A horizontally movable fixture is disposed in the hollow cavity. A stopper is disposed at a top portion of the base. A bottom portion of the stopper is disposed lower than a top portion of the fixture to stop the fixture from moving during processing. An elastic element is disposed between the through cover and a side portion of the fixture to push the fixture to move after processing.

A machining station especially arranged to carry out deep drill and milling operations is disclosed. The machining station now proposed presents a specific structural arrangement, enables the incorporation, contrary to already existing stations, of an axis dedicated to deep drilling, favoring the use of deep drill tools under ideal conditions, without size restriction. Accordingly, the station is comprised of an operating base, on which there lays an operating module and an arrangement module. This new arrangement for the machining station is therefore more versatile and adaptable to the specificities programmed for each part to be machined.

A method for forming a set of gun barrels, comprises: machining an elongate key along a length of a metal billet; mounting the metal billet on a machining jig, clamped along the key; performing CNC milling operations on the mounted metal billet in a 5-axis CNC milling machine to form a set of gun barrels having a pair of bores and a rib, the rib extending lengthwise proximate the elongate key; and, separating the set of gun barrels from the key along the length of the rib section. The present invention provides for significantly faster machine production with no manual handling of the workpiece throughout the milling operations. This makes the milling operations more accurate as the workpiece remains in position throughout, without reloading. Holding the workpiece along a key which runs the length of what will become the rib of the barrels avoids any loading of the workpiece in areas that need to be machined. The use of a 5-axis CNC milling machine allows for variable geometries to adjust the finished shape and configuration of the gun barrels.

A milling and deep drilling machine operated by a control unit is provided, which commands the action of a robotic arm in a coordinated and automatic manner, being responsible for milling and deep drilling actions, and at least one technical tool storage cabinet. The robotic arm having a mobile structure, with a base structure along which a driving unit is moved, over sliding rails. The configuration of the milling mode in the machine is achieved by coupling a milling tool to the drive unit. For the configuration of the deep drilling mode, the base structure of the robotic arm has coupling device that allow the assembly of a cassette in which the deep hole drilling tool is installed

The disclosure relates to a machining station for machining platelike workpieces (1) by means of at least one tool (10, 13, 14). The machining station has a measuring device (16) for acquiring data relating to the position of bores, a drill (10, 13, 14) for generating bores in the workpiece (1), and a data processor (17) for processing data of the at least one measuring device (16) and/or for controlling the at least one drill (10, 13, 14). The data processor (17) is here suitable and set up for performing an adjustment between a desired drilling position and/or a desired bore depth and an actual position and/or actual depth as determined by the at least one measuring device (16) for a bore present in the workpiece (1), and adapting the drilling position and/or bore depth for generating bores by means of the at least one drill (10, 13, 14).

A gun drill machine capable of shortening a margin dimension required in a gun drill as much as possible. In a free zone between a chip box and a moving spindle unit, a plurality of swing stopping devices for loosely holding a gun drill and suppressing the swing of the gun drill are arranged, and each swing stopping device is configured to freely retract from a steady action position where a swing stopping action is performed to avoid interference with the spindle unit that moves in the free zone.
