What is Drilling Machine?
The quality drilling machine is pedestal drilling machine where the inbuilt motor is used to make holes of different sizes in solid based different kinds of material like wood, plastic, metal etc. We can also say it pillar drilling machine or Drill Press.
The principle of the working of Drilling Machine
A spindle of drilling machine makes the drill to turn on the workpiece either in auto or manual mode to make a hole and remove the extra material. A sharp edge of the drill is placed on the surface of an object to make a hole with the exertion of speed and force for rotating the edge of the drill.
Parts of drilling machines and its Functions
Drill press or drilling machine is one of the most common and used tools. It is being used in all types of manufacturing and assembling industries. All the parts of drilling machine participate in its functioning. A brief description of the parts of the drill machine with its functions is mentioned below.
Head
This is the top most part of the drilling machine which is placed on the top of the spindle. It supports the upward and downward movement of the spindle. Head is responsible for hosting and supporting spindle, pulley, and motor.
Spindle
The Spindle is one of the most important parts of the drill machine. It is spindle which hosts the drill and makes it rotate. The spindle is held on the drilling machine with the support of a belt. The spindle is placed on the chuck
Column
The column is in the shape of rode and is made of cast iron. It is basically designed to place a drill on the table. The position of table and column is better explained in the angle of 90 degrees. During the process of drilling, it is used to hold the table steady for ensuring the accuracy of cutting and making a hole.
Table
The table is an important part of the drilling machine. It is used to hold the workpiece during the process of drilling. Shape and size of the table can vary as per the requirement of the jobs in which drilling is required; the table can be round or rectangular. Its place in the 90 degree angle of column, and can be moved in any direction as per the task like upward, downward, and move around.
Base
The base is the part on which drilling machine is placed. This part is made of cast iron due to its required strength. The base is basically used to support and balance the column during the process of drilling and adjusting the spindle
Electric Motor
This part of the drilling machine is used to supply the power for its working is known as the power transmission. There are some tools which used to the supply of power to control the speed of the drill. The whole process of supply transmission needs the help of the v-bolt and pulleys.
Use of Drilling Machine
Using of the drilling machine is not difficult, especially when you are aware of it’s all parts and their functioning. This machine is basically designed to resolve the drilling purpose in the workshops, factories, and industries. It is commonly used by mechanics, carpenters and factory workers.
