Single Coordinate CNC Drilling Machine Product Overview
The Single Coordinate CNC Drilling Machine is an advanced piece of equipment integrating precision and automation. It is based on the traditional drilling machine concept, like the common Benchtop Drill Press, but enhanced with computer numerical control (CNC) technology. This allows for highly accurate and repeatable drilling operations along a single axis.
Material Characteristics
• Structural Components: The frame is typically made of high-strength cast iron. It provides excellent vibration damping and stability, ensuring precision during drilling. This is crucial as any vibrations can lead to inaccuracies in hole placement and diameter.
• Tooling Materials: The drill bits used are often made of high-speed steel or carbide. High-speed steel offers good toughness and wear resistance for general-purpose drilling, while carbide is preferred for its superior hardness and ability to withstand high temperatures, suitable for drilling tough materials.
Product Advantages
1. Precision: Compared to manual or basic drill presses, it can achieve extremely precise hole positions. The CNC control system ensures that each hole is drilled with minimal deviation, usually within a tolerance of a few microns.
2. Automation: Once the program is set, it can operate continuously. This reduces operator fatigue and errors, increasing productivity. For example, in batch production of small parts, it can drill hundreds of holes with consistent quality.
3. Flexibility: It can be easily reprogrammed for different drilling patterns and hole sizes. This is beneficial in industries where product designs change frequently.
Product Application Areas
1. Electronics Manufacturing: For drilling precise holes in circuit boards. The accuracy is vital to ensure proper component placement and electrical connections.
2. Jewelry Making: To create intricate patterns and holes in precious metals. The fine control of the CNC drilling machine allows for delicate and detailed work.
3. Small Mechanical Parts Production: In workshops producing small gears, pins, etc., where accurate holes for shafts and pins are required.
Product Specifications & Customization Requirements
• Power: Motors typically range from 0.5 kW to 3 kW, depending on the size and intended application. Higher power is needed for drilling through thick or hard materials.
• Drilling Capacity: The maximum drill diameter can vary from 5 mm to 20 mm. Some heavy-duty models can handle even larger diameters.
• Travel Distance: Along the single coordinate axis, the travel can be anywhere from 100 mm to 500 mm, allowing for different part sizes.
For customization, customers can request specific control software features, such as custom G-code generation for unique drilling patterns. They can also ask for modifications in table size and clamping mechanisms to suit their particular workpieces.
