Automatic Drilling and Tapping Machine

The Automatic Drilling and Tapping Machine is a CNC holemaking system for repeat drilling and internal threading on small machined components. It is used in electronics hardware, automotive parts and precision component production where workpieces require multiple drilled and tapped features.

High-Speed Spindle for Small-Hole Operations

Spindle speeds cover 6000–12,000 rpm with 2.2, 3.7 or 5.5 kW power options. When small-diameter tools enter aluminum or steel components in repeated short cuts, the available spindle-speed range supports the cutting conditions without selecting a large heavy-milling spindle for the task.

Drilling and Threading in One Workholding Setup

The standard model covers drilling diameters of Ø0.5–16 mm and tapping from M0.8 to M12; the compact version covers Ø0.5–12 mm and M0.8–M10. Parts with a pattern of clearance holes and threaded holes can move through both operations without being manually re-clamped between processes.

Short Tool Changes on Multi-Hole Parts

An 8- or 12-position disc magazine changes tools in no more than 2 seconds. When a component alternates between a pilot drill, larger drill and tap, the magazine retrieves each tool automatically rather than stopping production for repeated manual tool replacement.

Compact Travel with Rapid Axis Motion

Travel options are X300/Y200/Z200 mm and X500/Y400/Z300 mm, with a published rapid traverse of 48 m/min and ±0.008 mm repeat positioning. On a fixture containing many closely spaced hole positions, fast non-cutting moves reduce time between drilling locations while preserving programmed coordinate return.

Machine configuration starts from the part drawing, alloy, hole and thread schedule, tool list and production quantity. We select the working envelope, spindle rating, tool storage and holding fixture, then prepare the CNC process around the required drilling depths and tapping sequence.

Mechanical assembly checks cover the spindle installation, guideway seating, lubrication routes and magazine alignment. Each production operation is self-inspected, with a separate cross-check before proceeding to the next stage.

A laser-interferometer check is used to verify axis positioning and repeat performance. Trial workpieces are then drilled and tapped to examine location, hole form and thread engagement under the approved cutting program.

The finished machine receives a 100% pre-packing check of guarding, spindle and tool-change operation, control alarms and exterior condition. Third-party inspection can be scheduled to witness the agreed machine acceptance test.
