General Information
l All performance data is obtained at a line pressure of 6.3±0.15 bar in accordance with ISO2787 (1984).
l All speeds are nominal.
l Performance data is subject to alteration without prior notice.
l Unless stated otherwise dimensions are in mm.
l All imperial dimensions and performance data have been calculated from the measured metric values.
l Sound levels are ±2dB(A) measured using CAGI-PNEUROP test code.
l Before using an AFD always refer to the operating and warning instructions supplied with the tool.
l For AFD models maximum power is achieved at 50% of no load speed.

l Modular components for flexibility of
speed and function
l Simple interfaces for communicating to
other equipment
l Control options including peck feed, dwell
and skip feed
** AFD415, AFDE400/410 and AFDE600/610/62O tools only
AFD Applications
Ease of Incorporation into Machine or Process
l Extensive range of mounting clamps
l Control interfaces to link AFD(E) to other equipment through pneumatics or electrically
l Single signal required for AFD(E) to perform cycle
l Output signals at datum and depth
l Electric motor mounting on 200, 400 and 600 series can be rotated through 180º
Modular Design
l Flexibility of unit function and speed
l Common components in differing models reducing inventory
l Multiple spindle head options
l Drill and tapping options for all models
The free output speed of the drill or tapper
with no drilling or tapping load applied.

What is an AFD?
Drilling Pneumatic Drive
The Desoutter range of Auto Feed Drills and T appers are fixture mounted tools combining
linear feed and rotation for machining and tapping operations.
There are 3 basic model types:
l AFD/AFT – Pneumatic Feed and Drive
l AFDE–Pneumatic Feed with Electric Drive
l AFTE–Electric Drive and Feed via a Leadscrew
A wide range of accessories allow the tools to be configured to suit the application and
include mounting clamps, output spindles, multiple spindle heads and various control
options for interfacing with PLC’s or pneumatics.
