VBHU-214 Universal Automatic Facing and Boring Head — C‑20 Collet, Ø5–Ø250 mm

The VBHU-214 is an automatic universal facing and boring head designed for flexible diameter machining and vertical drilling applications

• Automatic universal facing and boring head
• Suitable for Ø5–Ø250 mm diameters
• Compatible with C‑20 collet system
• Ready for vertical drilling Ø110 mm

Consistent diameter control for accurate finishing

The unit delivers repeatable precision across a wide diameter range, making it suitable for both roughing pre-operations and fine finishing passes. The automatic design reduces manual intervention and supports steady tool engagement, which improves concentricity and reduces rework. For machinists requiring reliable surface quality, the head’s configuration translates into shorter cycle times and fewer corrective operations while maintaining dimensional tolerances.

Flexible clamping and quick setup with C‑20 compatibility

Designed around the C‑20 collet interface, the head enables quick tool changes and stable clamping for assorted tool shanks. The compact mass of 6 kg provides a balance between rigidity and manageable handling during setup. The option to work with vertical drilling at Ø110 mm expands application scope, allowing the same unit to serve varied tasks on conventional and CNC machines without complex retooling.

Automated operation that increases throughput

Automation in the head supports more consistent cutting parameters and reduces operator variability, which is advantageous for serial production and precision components. The automatic function fosters process reliability and can contribute to improved machine utilisation. When combined with routine maintenance and correct setup, the head helps achieve a predictable production flow and contributes to lower scrap rates in small and medium batch runs.
