Optimize Semi-Automatic Drilling

EVO range - Electric Drilling Units

For quality, precision, and repeatability.

Our range is divided in two models :

  • L-EVO designed for repetitive drilling operations involving smaller holes in single-material applications, emphasizing ergonomics and efficiency.

  • M-EVO designed for multi stack material applications and critical operations, offering quick-change head system with RFID identification for flexibility.

A fully electric drilling range capable of handling a wide range of applications, from small to large holes and materials ranging from CFRP to titanium. It offers robust and powerful motors and a comprehensive software suite for optimizing drilling cycles.

A full EVO loop consists of four elements :
