OPERATIONS THAT’S WE PERFORMED
ON DRILL MACHINE
Base:
The base is that part of the machine on which the vertical column is mounted.
The base is made of casting. A base supports the column and worktable with other
attachments.
The top of the base is round column section type upright drilling machined and has
T-slots on it so that large work pieces and work holding devices may be set up and
bolted to it. The base of the machine may be mounted on a bench or on the floor.
Column:
The Column is the vertical member of the machine which supports the
table and the head containing all the driving mechanism. It is a cylindrical casting
mounted vertically at one end of the base and supports the radial arm, which slides
up and down. An electric motor at the top of the column helps in the vertical
adjustment of the arm by rotating a screw passing through a nut attached to the arm.
Table:
The table is mounted on the column and is provided with T-slots for
clamping the work directly on its face. A table is round or rectangular in shape.
Radial Arm:
It is mounted on the column and extends horizontally over the
base. It has guideways on which drill head slides. The radial arm moves around the
column.
Drill head:
It is mounted on the redial arm and drives the drill spindle. In some
of the drill machines, the drill head may be adjusted up or down for accommodating
different heights of the work in addition to the table adjustment. It encloses all the
mechanism for driving the drill at a different speed and feeds. In lighter machines,
the driving motor is mounted at the rear end of the head counterbalancing the weight
of the drill spindle.
Spindle speed and feed mechanism:
The motor at the top of the
drill head drives the horizontal spindle and the motion is transmitted to the drill head
through a group of bevel gears. With another group of gears, different spindle speed
and feed are obtained. The main advantage of this types of drilling machine is that
holes of variable sizes at any point and at any angles can be drilled on the large-sized
workpiece without moving the workpiece.
3. Boring:
To enlarge a hole by means of an adjustable cutting tool with only one
cutting edge. This is necessary where the suitable sized drill is not available or
where the hole diameter is so large that it cannot be ordinarily drilled. Used to
finish a hole accurately and to bring it to the required size.
4. Counter boring:
Counter boring is the operation of enlarging the end of a
hole cylindrically. The enlarged hole forms a square shoulder with the original hole.
This is necessary in some cases to accommodate the heads of bolts, studs and pins.
5. Counter sinking:
Countersinking is the operation of making a cone-shaped
enlargement of the end of a hole to provide a recess for a flat head screw or
countersunk rivet fitted into the hole.
6. Spot facing:
Spot facing is the operation of smoothing and squaring the
surface around a hole for the seat for a nut or the head of a screw. A counterbore or
a special spot facing tool may be employed for this purpose.
