Five types by diameter
From E10 to E40 the solid-drilling range rises from Ø 2–10 mm to Ø 5–40 mm; the standard number of spindles falls from 6 to 2 as the diameter grows.

Why E10–E40?
Multi-spindle for series production
1–6 spindles as standard; as a TWIN unit up to 12 spindles drilling simultaneously from two sides, individual spindles can be switched off for different batch sizes, automatic loading and unloading as an option.
Modular design
Built from machine bed, drill spindle, tailstock or second spindle, drill bush holder, chip and coolant system, steady rests and control modules; gundrilling and BTA can be combined on one machine.

Frequently asked questions
Gundrilling or BTA: which method for which diameter?
TIBO offers gundrilling machines for solid drilling from Ø 2 to 40 mm and BTA machines for larger diameters (B series: solid drilling to Ø 250 mm, counter-boring to Ø 400 mm). In gundrilling the coolant is fed through the drill and the chips leave via the external V-groove; in BTA the coolant is fed from outside and the chips leave through the drill tube.
How many spindles can be selected?
Standard configurations have 1–6 spindles, and the number depends on the solid-drilling diameter (up to 6 on E10 and E15, up to 2 on E40). For large quantities a TWIN unit drills simultaneously from two sides with up to 12 spindles in total; individual spindles can be switched off for different batch sizes.
What do the numbers in the machine name mean?
The number after the E gives the type (E40: solid drilling Ø 5–40 mm). In TIBO's machine list the E40-1-1000 is given with a drilling depth of 1,000 mm.
