Features of CNC Drilling and Tapping Machine Center

• The drilling and tapping operations require high machine rigidity; therefore, the beam, column assembly, and spindle box are all made of HT250 cast iron. No welded structure is adopted.

• Cast iron bed with a few finely milled T-slots in it guarantees good stability and easy clamping.

• All the motion axes (XYZ) are equipped with original HIWIN linear guideways whose sizes are 45mm wide. The matching linear bearings are all of a flange type, which is prior to common type on loading capacities.

• The linear guide rails are mounted with many pieces of small pressure blocks; they help a lot to keep the rails in place. Furthermore, they evenly distribute the forces on the contact surfaces of the guide rails, thereby preventing the guide rails from deflecting, deforming or being damaged.

• The transmission mechanism for XYZ is rolling ballscrews from TBI. Their diameter is 40mm and pitch is 10mm.

• The power drilling head is a typical ram structure of the machine tools. The assembly consists of a spindle box, a mechanical spindle, an AC servo spindle motor, and a head cover.

• The equipped BT40 tool taper can be mounted with diverse tools to meet different drilling or tapping needs.

• The most frequently used tools include U drill with center water outlet, tapping tool, face milling tool, and spiral drill.

• The pneumatic knife-punching cylinder is a famous brand product from Taiwan – AirTac. It's function is to change the tool quickly.

• The rear of the machine is a coolant liquid filtering and recycling device. The coolant flows here from the work bed, and after being filtered, it circulates back to the machine head side.

Application of China CNC Plate Drilling Machine

Applicable Field

It has a wide range applications and good for machining operations of hole-drilling, tapping, chamfering, and face milling into plates, flanges, tube sheets in fields like the petrochemical industry, boilers, pressure vessels, and wind power; also good for drilling into connection plates & anchor plates in industries of steel structures, iron towers, bridges, and machining.

Applicable Materials

Any alloy plates such as mild steel & stainless steel and metals such as copper & aluminum. 

Optional Configurations Available for Automatic CNC Steel Plate Drilling Machine

Please select the following optional configurations according to your actual production requirements:

Chip Removal Machine

The chip removing system gathers the chips and transfers them to the collection truck. It makes the chip collection easy and saves the manual labor for us.

Automatic Tool Changer

The automatic tool change option can bring the following two benefits for users.

• The option performs the tool change operation automatically under the control of the toolpath file; so it minimizes the downtime and leads to productivity growth.

• Since there is no machine halt between the multiple tools machining process, every tool is based on the same origin point; this offers us high precision and coincident output. 

Angle Head

The angle head offers the drilling machines more machining possibilities. Without this unit, the machine can only process one surface of an object, that is, the top side. But if the machine has an angle head, it allows drilling or tapping on any of the five sides of a part, that is, the other five faces except the bottom face. 

What Benefits or Improvements Can You Achieve with The Drill and Tap Machine CNC

It increases the efficiency and accuracy in metal parts machining of hole drilling, thread tapping, and chamfering. CNC technology brings precise positioning and motion, which offers us high precision jobs. Features of center water outlet, it is able to perform high speed drilling process with U-drill tools, leading to high productivity. In a word, it takes your metal parts fabrication to the next level.
