PMK Right Angle Heads are precision-engineered attachments that transform standard VMCs, HMCs, boring machines, and special purpose machines into multi-face machining systems — enabling drilling, milling, and tapping at 90° without repositioning the workpiece.

Available with BT and CAT input tapers and output tooling from ER16 to ER40, No.30 to No.50, and all Morse Tapers, these heads are built for sustained high-speed operation on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Benefits

• Universal Taper Compatibility: Interchangeable drive taper sub-assembly allows use on all types of machining centres and vertical drilling/boring machines with different spindle sizes — with no loss in rigidity or accuracy. Anti-rotation arrester included.
• Precision-Grade Spindles: Manufactured from superior-class alloy steel, hardened and precision ground. All spindles are supported by pairs of preloaded angular contact ball bearings of super precision class with long-life lubrication.
• High-Torque Spiral Bevel Gears: Right angle transmission through copiously dimensioned, precision-cut, carburised and hardened spiral bevel gears — lapped for smooth operation and large cutting torques.
• ATC-Ready Configuration: Available for CNC machines with Auto Tool Changers — heads are automatically transferred from the tool store to the machine spindle and back, fully hands-free.
• Sustained High-Speed Operation: Designed for minimum heat distortion and superior heat dissipation, making these heads suitable for extended periods of high-speed production runs.
• Conventional Machine Adaptation: Suitable for non-CNC conventional machines with clamping collar adaptation — no CNC required to benefit from right-angle machining.

Applications

• Automotive component machining — engine blocks, housings, flanges, and brackets requiring multi-face operations
• Aerospace structural parts with compound angle or cross-hole features
• Heavy engineering, pump body, and valve body machining on boring machines
• Special Purpose Machine (SPM) lines requiring repeatable 90° operations
• General fabrication shops upgrading 3-axis VMCs for compound angle work without investing in 5-axis machines
