Undercut anchors

Fasteners
The KEIL undercut anchor, for invisible attachment of thin panels, is manufactured from stainless steel. Its geometry, matched to the KEIL undercut hole, applies maximum loads to the panels in an optimum manner. This geometry ensures stress-free attachment in all commonly used panel materials from 6 mm thick. Depending on panel thickness or carrying capacity required, different insertion depths (hS ) are available. The KEIL undercut anchor is designed in such a way that it withstands a greater load than just the weight of the panel. The KEIL undercut anchor offers major benets due to the high installation integrity. The anchor is placed quickly, easily and safely at a controlled depth for all panel thicknesses in an optimum installation by using matching KEIL system components: anchor, panel bracket and KEIL locking screw with integral locking mechanism. Only two parts (anchor sleeve and screw) are required for safe attachment.

Installation instructions
Drilling and Undercutting

1
The undercut holes on the back of the facade panels must be made using KEIL System tools under workshop conditions. The KEIL System tools comprise the KEIL facade drill bit, the KEIL drill head and the undercutting and drilling machine (e.g. KEIL manual drill, KEIL bench drill or automatic drilling machine with KEIL drill head). The undercut hole is produced in one step (cylindrical drilling [1] and undercutting [2]). Correct installation of the undercut anchor is possible only if a precisely undercut hole exists [3]. The hole geometry is regularly monitored with the KEIL gauge matching the insertion depth of the anchor. The hole depth is set by means of this gauge, and all major hole dimensions can be checked efciently with it.

Assembly

4
The undercut anchor consists of an anchor sleeve and its hex screw. Hole, anchor sleeve and screw length have to be matched to the hole depth required and to the panel bracket chosen. Only the use of matching components results in quick, simple and safe installation. The anchor sleeve, which is compressed in the lower end, is placed in the hole with the specied panel bracket [4]. The screw is screwed in while exerting slight pressure on the panel bracket (to x the anchor) [5]. The locking mechanism of the screw cuts into the panel bracket to secure it. The panel bracket forms a rigid unit with the KEIL facade anchor for this type of installation. The anchor sleeve is expanded to its original dimension by inserting the screw to a controlled depth, so that the sleeve sits snugly against the undercut section of the hole in the facade panel. After installation, the anchor sits stress-free in the undercut hole (i.e. the bracket can still be rotated with a certain amount of effort).

Installation instructions
Safety Information Correct functioning is only guaranteed if all components of the KEIL undercut facade system are used. Expansion of the anchor sleeve controlled by insertion depth requires precise matching of the screw length to the anchor and panel bracket by KEIL. Production of the undercut holes and installation should be carried out under workshop conditions. Workshop conditions in this sense can also be created on site. The dimensions of the undercut hole are to be monitored in accordance with the regulations in force. The standards, guidelines and relevant regulations applicable to design and use must be observed.

Notes on anchor installation

Anchor sleeves and locking screws for specied clamping thicknesses

If the appropriate screw is used for a dened clamping thickness, the insertion depth is always correct! Installation is quick, easy and safe in this case. Similarly, the system ensures that the precise insertion depth is guaranteed for KEIL plug-in anchors. The screwed-in part must be ush with the anchor sleeve at the front.

CAUTION:
Before nal installation, it must be checked whether the screwed-in part is ush with the anchor sleeve at the front and whether the correct installation tool is being used, by means of a test assembly.

Anchor sleeves and grub screws for variable clamping thicknesses

The correct insertion depth is guaranteed if the appropriate installation tool, the KEIL screw driver, is used and the installation steps described below are followed. The appropriate projection is automatically obtained.

Plug-In Anchor/Fork Anchor

Fasteners
without support structure
Drilling - Grouting - Insulating The KEIL plug-in anchor and the KEIL fork anchor in conjunction with the KEIL undercut anchor make it possible to attach natural stone panels without a support structure. The support bolts are attached to the panel back with the undercut anchor. The holes in the substrate to which the panels are tted are lled with a permissible mortar. The threaded rods on the facade panel are tted into the lled holes. The facade panel is aligned and xed. After the correct setting time, depending on temperature, has passed, a safe, stress-free bond has been produced.

With/without insulation Subsequent replacement of individual panels possible High safety due to optimum load distribution with both systems

Plug-in anchor The KEIL plug-in anchor facilitates the tight axial connection of undercut anchor and threaded bolt. It is used where facade panels need not be removed again after fixing, e.g. to replace damaged panels, in precast reinforced concrete elements, for internal ttings.

Fork anchor The KEIL fork anchor facilitates the safe, detachable connection of natural stone facade panels and the substrate. It is used, for example, when the panel has to be removed again, for example to t insulation or to check the anchoring. Fork bolt and undercut anchor are not directly joined. The fork plate between them makes disassembly of the facade panel possible.

Fork anchor

Machines

Drilling technology
Manual drills

The manual drills are used for mobile drilling and undercutting of small batches, inll and special size panels. This handy machine is placed on the facade panel at any point and is rigidly connected to the panel via the vacuum foot or clamping foot. Precise positioning can be carried out via stop rails. The manual drill can be supplied for drilling with the KEIL diamond facade drill bit or as a dry drilling machine for the KEIL carbide facade drill bit. The simple handling is supported by the low weight of the manual machine and makes its use on site possible. Panels of any size or weight are drilled efciently and undercut precisely with it.

The depth of the undercut hole may be constant either to the front or rear of the panel.

Automatic drilling machines

Drilling technology
Undercutting Unit for automatic drilling machines

The KEIL undercutting unit for drilling machines is the optimum automated drill unit for drilling and undercutting. Almost all available drilling/milling machines can be retrotted with this. The undercutting unit uses diamond or carbide tipped facade drill bits, depending on which material is to be worked. For undercutting, the drill head is pneumatically deected after reaching the pre-selected drilling depth. If the diamond facade drill bit is used, water is applied through the centre of the spindle. The carriage of the machine supports the KEIL undercutting unit with frequency-controlled motor. Thus the motor speed can be selected for drilling with the carbide facade drill bit (approx. 1,500 rpm) or for drilling with the diamond facade drill bit (approx. 7,000 rpm).

Automatic drilling machines We reserve the right to make technical modications

BR-544-0803-9876543210_eng

For automated drilling and undercutting, KEIL offers automatic drilling machines with KEIL undercutting technology in cooperation with well-known machine manufacturers. Individual customer requirements regarding computer support, panel size, automated panel transport etc. form the basis of the design of your machine.

Example: KEIL undercutting unit, attached to an Arbes drilling machine.

Excellent handling of panels to be drilled Materials such as natural stone, ceramics, HPL, bre cement, glass etc. can be processed (max. panel size, for example, 3,500 x 1,800 mm). Efficient working due to simultaneous processing of 2 panels while panel 1 is drilled fully automatically, panel 2 can be checked and positioned. Simple programming of drilling schematics via PC.

Example: KEIL undercutting unit, attached to a Cobalm drilling machine.

Type P drill head

Drilling technology
Pneumatic drill head At the heart of all KEIL drilling machines is the KEIL drill head. The cylindrical hole and the undercut are quickly and precisely produced with this drill head together with the facade drill bit. The drill head can also be attached to your existing automatic drilling or milling machine. (Fitting as per customer requirement).

Pneumatic drill head with facade drill bit and R chuck Article No. 7.581.000.023

Connection requirements Various mating conditions must be met to be able to t the KEIL P drill head with pneumatic deection to existing machines. The spindle speed must be about 6,000-7,000 rpm for water-cooled drilling with the diamond facade drill bit and about 2,000 rpm for drilling with the carbide drill bit. The facade drill bit must be seated free from play and the spindle must be running faultlessly to guarantee precise undercuts and long life of the drill bit. Locking must be possible in the different feed directions. When drilling with the diamond facade drill bit, the water is supplied through the drill spindle (water pressure > 4 bar). It is advantageous to use a water lter to avoid any water failure which could lead to the diamond plate detaching. A circulating water supply with added cooling lubricant provides good corrosion protection and has a positive effect on the optimum life of the facade drill bit. The customer must: Screw in the drill head or insert it into the collet. Fit locking for drill head. Depending on machine, control of the drill head can be mechanical or under program control. For mechanical control, a KEIL pneumatic unit is attached/installed which is controlled by a limit switch which starts the undercutting process.

Drilling and Undercutting Cylindrical hole: Switch on cooling water. (Always drill with water as a matter of principle.) If drilling is carried out without water, this can result in detaching of the diamond or increased wear of the sealing rings in the ushing head.) Switch on drilling machine. Drill to the required depth (to the depth stop set). Undercutting: The drill is held at the depth stop and undercutting is carried out by actuating the drill head with compressed air (approx. 6 bar, depending on material). Depending on material, the undercut is completed in about 3-5 seconds. Once pressure is released, the drill head returns automatically into the starting position (cylindrical hole). Remove drill bit from hole. Replacing undercutting diamond facade drill bit Push compression lock washer [1] in direction of arrow and turn by 90. Pull off compression lock washer [1] and compression spring. Pull out both cross bolts [3]. Push brass bell [4] into position A-B. Take out facade drill bit. Also replace sealing ring [6], if required. A new facade drill bit is installed in the reverse order.

Soffit Angle

Fasteners
Attachement of soft panels

KEIL provides a soft panel attachment for the installation of soft panels to main facade panels with the KEIL undercut anchor. This type of attachment has been developed from the point of view of precise and fast installation and particularly easy handling.

Place soft angle on the drilled facade panel. Insert anchor with screw and serrated washer through the slotted hole into the undercut hole and tighten. Alternatively install threaded pin and locking nut.

Installation of soft panels

Installation is quick, simple and safe as the system consists only of an aluminium sof t angle and a serrated locking screw with undercut anchor. The patented soft angle, designed for the most commonly used soft sizes, offers the greatest possible adjustment and preliminary xing in both directions. Optimum load application into the facade panel is ensured as the faces of the undercut anchor provide contact over the whole area. The high support forces resulting from this have been conrmed repeatedly in tests by different research and testing institutes. The high installation safety is also shown by the fact that the undercut anchor never pushes through to the front of the panel. Thus, even thin facade panels are attached safely and with a high load strength. You can also use the KEIL KSDV manual drill with vacuum foot to drill the appropriate undercut holes. With a cost-effective addon, this machine becomes a stationary drilling machine with roller table for soft panels.

Soffit Angle

Fasteners
Independent of the material

Even friable materials (e.g. sandstone) or for extremely large and heavy soft panels, KEIL offers undercut anchors with the larger diameters and insertion depths required. The increased load application area provides even higher breakage loads. Thus large soft panels, too, are attached with a high safety factor. Drilling and undercutting is carried out with the existing, proven KEIL drilling technology and the machines based on it.
