How much does the HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7402 PinJet cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7402 PinJet that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7402 PinJet is the EVOLUTION 7402 vertical machining centre with a dowel insertion unit built in. After drilling an edge hole it can pretreat the hole and drive the dowel, so carcass parts leave the machine with their dowels already seated.
The unit works with dowels 8 mm in diameter and 30 - 40 mm in length. They go into predrilled 8 mm holes in the +/- X direction, from both sides. Choosing “Insert dowel” in the controller runs the whole sequence: drill, moisten the hole with a process-controlled mist nozzle, insert. Supply reservoirs with an observation window hold approximately 300 to 400 dowels depending on their length, and a sensor monitors the insertion unit. A dry setting allows uncoated dowels as well as precoated ones. The unit has a central water connection.
Underneath, the figures are those of the standard machine. Edge routing dimensions are 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 920 mm (36.2 in), the drilling head has 15 spindles with a sawing unit in X, and the 10.3 kW (13.8 hp) HSK cutter unit runs from 1,000 to 24,000 rpm. Overall size stays at 2,960 mm (116.5 in) in length, 2,440 mm (96.1 in) in height and 1,725 mm (67.9 in) in depth, with a weight of 2,500 kg (5,511 lb).
For a longer frame with the same dowelling unit, HOLZ-HER lists the EVOLUTION 7405 PinJet at 3,200 mm (126.0 in) in X. Where connectors are preferred to dowels, the EVOLUTION 7405 Connect is the variant set up for them.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Drills, moistens and inserts 8 mm dowels as one controller function
- Dowels can be inserted in the +/- X direction from both sides
- Reservoirs with an observation window hold approx. 300 to 400 dowels
- Keeps the 15-spindle drilling head and the 10.3 kW (13.8 hp) HSK cutter unit of the base machine
- Same compact frame: 2,960 mm (116.5 in) long and 1,725 mm (67.9 in) deep
Limitations
- Dowel size is fixed at 8 mm in diameter with a length of 30 - 40 mm
- Dowel insertion is described for the +/- X direction only
- Needs a water connection for the mist nozzle
- Y dimension is limited to 920 mm (36.2 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It inserts dowels automatically. When “Insert dowel” is selected, the controller drills the hole, performs the preliminary treatment and inserts the dowel. A process-controlled mist nozzle moistens the drilled hole before insertion, and a sensor monitors the insertion unit.
02
Dowels of 8 mm diameter with a length of 30 - 40 mm, inserted into predrilled 8 mm holes. HOLZ-HER describes the unit for precoated dowels, and a dry insertion setting allows uncoated dowels to be used as well. The reservoirs hold approximately 300 to 400 dowels, depending on dowel length.
03
Not according to the tables. Both list an overall length of 2,960 mm (116.5 in), a height of 2,440 mm (96.1 in), a depth of 1,725 mm (67.9 in) and a weight of 2,500 kg (5,511 lb). The dowel reservoirs are integrated into the machine.
04
A drilling head with 15 spindles, 9 vertical and 6 horizontal, plus a sawing unit in X, and a 10.3 kW (13.8 hp) cutter unit with HSK chuck running 1,000 to 24,000 rpm. Tools can be up to 80 mm (3.1 in) in diameter and 80 mm (3.1 in) long. Vector speed is 68 m/min.
