Drill head attachment VHA-R-8 — Horizontal orientation, max. 2,000 r.p.m. (Vertex)

Drill head attachment VHA-R-8 is a horizontal drill head designed for retrofit and workshop installation, compatible with Type R drill heads and suited to production and toolroom applications.

• Horizontal drill head attachment
• 85.725–86 mm drill head diameter
• Max. 2,000 r.p.m. operational speed
• Robust 25.7 kg construction

Accurate fit for Type R drill heads and retrofit projects

The unit is engineered for a precise mechanical fit with Type R drill heads in the 85.725–86 mm diameter range, enabling straightforward integration into existing horizontal setups. This dimensional compatibility simplifies installation planning and reduces the need for additional adapter work. For production environments where repeatability matters, the defined interface ensures consistent alignment and contributes to predictable hole position and size — a direct benefit for quality control procedures and downstream assembly.

Stable operation that improves hole quality and tool life

A compact, heavy-duty design (weighing 25.7 kg) provides the mass and rigidity required to attenuate vibration during drilling. When used within its rated limit of 2,000 r.p.m., the head delivers steady cutting conditions that reduce chatter, which in turn improves surface finish and extends cutter life. The correlation between structural stability and machining outcomes is clear: less vibration means fewer rejects and lower tooling costs, making the attachment an economical choice for repetitive drilling tasks.

Designed for workshop integration with clear service advantages

Configured for horizontal mounting, the attachment supports rapid deployment on compatible machines and is suitable for use in production cells and maintenance workshops. The mechanical simplicity of the design facilitates routine inspection and keeps maintenance intervals predictable. Delivered by Vertex and distributed through Metav, the component benefits from a reliable supply chain: Metav’s Emmerich hub acts as a quality filter for the European market, combining extensive product range and technical competence to support implementation and spare-part availability.

FAQ

What drill head diameters does the attachment accept?
The VHA-R-8 accepts Type R drill heads in the 85.725–86 mm diameter range, providing a defined interface for retrofit and replacement.

Can the unit be run at higher speeds for smaller cutters?
The design rating is 2,000 r.p.m.; running above this speed is not recommended. Operation within the specified limit ensures stability and longevity of both the Vertex drill head attachment and mounted cutters.

Is the VHA-R-8 suitable for production or single-machine workshops?
Yes. The VHA-R-8 is intended for both production cells and workshop retrofit applications where consistent hole quality and repeatability are required.

How does the weight affect machining results?
The 25.7 kg mass increases rigidity and reduces vibration, which improves surface finish and extends tool life on the Vertex VHA-R-8 drill head attachment.

What information is needed to confirm compatibility with an existing machine?
Provide spindle or mounting interface dimensions and intended operating speed; the VHA-R-8’s Type R compatibility and dimensional data will be checked against those values.
