2021 Precihole Automated Barrel Cell

The 2021 Precihole Automated Barrel Cell delivers a complete, fully automated solution for precision barrel manufacturing. It combines a four-spindle gun drilling machine, twin-spindle pull reaming machine, and single-spindle rifling machine, all robot-ready and powered by Mitsubishi PLC motion control. With spindle speeds reaching 6500 RPM, maximum rifling force of 12 tons, and automated loading and clamping, it enables high-precision production for barrels up to 36 inch in length and 2 inch in diameter.

Compared to standalone manual barrel machines, the integrated cell significantly reduces handling time, improves concentricity, and offers far greater throughput. By uniting drilling, reaming, and rifling under coordinated automation, it ensures consistent quality while minimizing operator intervention, positioning it as a production-ready system for high-volume, high-accuracy work.
