1997 Hause Holomatic Model 2697 Drill Head

S/N 9705103 | 6" Stroke | Air-Hydraulic Advance & Retract

Overview

The Hause Holomatic 2697 is a precision quill-feed unit designed for automated production drilling, reaming, and chamfering. This 1997 model represents the high-efficiency era of American automated tooling. By utilizing standard shop air for power and an integrated hydraulic system for feed regulation, the 2697 provides the rapid approach needed to minimize cycle times while maintaining the controlled feed rate required for clean, precise holes.

The 2697 is specifically the "Advance and Retract Feed" model, meaning it offers hydraulic regulation in both directions—essential for applications like back-spotfacing or specialized tapping cycles.

Key Features & Dealer Benefits

• Patented Pressure-Compensated Feed Valve: Ensures a consistent chip load and feed rate even as the drill bit encounters varying material hardness or begins to dull.
• Versatile 6-Inch Stroke: A generous travel length that accommodates a wide variety of fixture depths and tool lengths, making it far more versatile than standard 4" units.
• Integrated Electrical Interlocks: Built-in switches for "Depth" and "Full Retract" allow for easy integration into PLC-controlled automation systems.
• Modern Maintenance Era: Being a 1997 build (S/N 9705103), this unit uses standard, readily available seal kits and bearings, ensuring that downtime remains minimal compared to discontinued legacy units.
• Rapid Advance & Retract: The high-speed pneumatic rapid travel (up to 4" of rapid advance) drastically reduces non-cutting time in production environments.
