Biesse Intermac Drill Up B H Boring and milling units

Batch one NC processing centre for drilling, milling and countersinking glass sheets with unprecedented performance and flexibility.
Glass working NC drilling centres capable of performing drilling, countersinking and milling operations on flat glass sheets, including “out of square” pieces.

Automatic multi spindle heads
Comprising the two opposing multiple spindle heads, each carrying eight spindles, the machine can perform all machining operations automatically, with no need for manual intervention or reworking.
The machine can be equipped with Super Spindles as optional, specifically designed for high-speed milling up to 12.000 RPM, enabling faster cycle times, extended spindle lifespan, and enhanced finishing quality.
The water system provides clean cooling water for both spindles and tools, while the machine’s rapid tool change ensures fast, consistent, high-quality processing.

No vibration
The horizontal machines feature a structure designed to minimize vibrations, resulting in higher-quality output.
Intermac Drill Up B H is no exception, with its precisely engineered build ensuring durability through extended work shifts and absolute rigidity for top-tier processing quality.
Additionally, since the glass is evenly supported across its full width and the transport system is integrated into the machine structure, the work surface remains perfectly aligned, delivering consistent quality.

Any kind of hardware
Intermac Drill Up B H performs a range of machining operations, including drilling, milling and countersinking, with unique speed and flexibility.
Its multi-spindle technology ensures rapid tool changes and the combined cutting cycles enable a quick processing, even on irregular geometric shapes.
With a wide array of tools readily available onboard, the machine performs all operations required to process glass without manual intervention or rework.

True batch-one production
With automated optimization of glass handling, productivity remains consistent regardless of variations in glass size, thickness, or machining operation positions.
The machine is capable of processing any glass shape with at least one straight edge, accommodating both small and large sizes.
As a true batch-one system, it offers zero setup time, automatically adjusting to different glass pieces, even when each one is unique thus maintaining a constant production flow.

Glass handling system
A patented, advanced dynamic vacuum belts system securely holds and moves glass with precise, repeatable positioning during transport and processing.
Held from one side, the system allows seamless processing of low-E and coated glass.
The belts are divided into sectors for improved vacuum efficiency and are automatically activated based on glass shape and machining position to maximize holding power and ensure superior finishing.
For extremely small or complex glass geometries where vacuum force alone is insufficient, additional hold-down devices are automatically activated to provide the necessary support.

Compact and flexible
This machine requires minimal floor space, making it suitable for installation in compact areas.
It can also be linked to a washing machine, making it a complete workflow solution.
Safety features, including an enclosure within a microswitch-controlled metal fence, laser scanners and intelligent glass processing control, ensure safe operator interaction by preventing collisions during machining operations, while providing an ergonomic environment for setup and maintenance.

User friendly Human Machine Interface
The advanced Human Machine Interface software, specifically developed for flat glass processing, offers operators a simple and intuitive experience in daily use.
Programming is mainly done in three different operating modes
Manual: the data are loaded into the Human Machine Interface by the operator;
Sequential: the data are received from the previous machine in line;
Online: the data is sent from the supervisor software.
The included CAD-CAM software simplifies programming operations and offers an extensive catalogue of common geometries that can be easily applied to the glass programmes.
A statistics and configuration function makes it possible to monitor machine performance.

Drilling and countersinking
Drilling is performed by two opposed, multi-spindle drilling heads.
The hole is drilled for ? of the depth with the lower spindle, and for ? of the depth by the upper spindle, granting a cleaner job and a faster execution time.
Countersinking operations, if requested by the program, are executed in fully automatic cycle without manual operation and performed with both machine's heads.

Milling
The machine can process various shapes of glass in thicknesses from 3 to 25mm at speeds up to 12.000 rpm thanks to the Super Spindle, while maintaining vibration-free operation to ensure a flawless finish quality.

Finishing
After rough milling, finishing operation is performed with a trapezoidal tool which removes any sharp cutting edges.
