With its HL 1000 EMAG presents an oil hole drilling machine for soft as well as hardened crankshafts.
The advantage of hard machining: fractures and hardening cracks are safely avoided.

The HL 1000 accommodates crankshafts of up to 1020 mm length and 265 mm diameter. With bore diameters of between 4 and 8 mm and the use of minimum quantity lubrication the HL 1000 achieves the kind of tool life that is far beyond the usual. Finally, all machining results – even those for truck crankshafts weighing up to 150 kg – are checked and logged by the control system while the workpiece is still clamped.
The machine base is of Mineralit (reaction resin polymer concrete), offering excellent thermal stability and outstanding dampening qualities. (In fact, the dampening properties of Mineralit are 6 to 8 times those of cast iron.) At the top of the machine base, and outside the machining area, are two pre-loaded linear roller guideways for the compound slide. They guarantee the highest degree of accuracy and high dynamic rigidity at all speeds.
The compound slide is equipped with two axes (X vertical and Z horizontal). The axes are driven by pre-loaded ball screws and a no-maintenance servomotor with built-in high-resolution rotating encoder. Cross slides and swivel axis (Y cross and B rotary) provide flexibility in the drilling of oil holes at variable angles. Rapid traverse speeds of up to 40 m/min reduce the idle times for tool change, workhandling and positioning.
