 ABSTRACT

In general drilling machine many of the problems arise during drilling. Some parts cannot be drill due to small work space
between drill bit and work piece. So we use hand drills in this case but it causes alignment problem. So here we propose a
360 degree flexible drill that can be mounted on a table or wall and can be used to drill holes horizontally, vertically or even
upside down. So this makes it possible for easy drilling in even complicated parts and surfaces.
 INTRODUCTION

DRILLING MACHINE

Drilling machines have been the heart of every industry. Drilling holes in parts, sheets and
structures is a regular industrial work. Perfect and well aligned drilling needs fixed and strong drills. Some parts cannot be
drilled using fixed drills due to low space between drill bit and dill bed. We need to use hand drills in such cases surfaces.
Thus I use rotating hinges and connectors with motor mount and supporting structure to design and fabricate a 360 degree
drilling machine for easy drilling operations
 DRILLING MACHINE CONSTRUCTION
The basic parts of a drilling machine are its base, supporting arms, drill head
and chuck. The base made of cast iron or other hard material may rest on a bench, floor
depending upon the design. Larger and heavy duty machines are grounded on the floor. The
arms are mounted on base with the help of hinges to rotate about it. It is accurately machined
and the arms can move up, down and rotate about x-axis. The drill chuck, an electric motor
and the mechanism meant for driving the chuck at different speeds are mounted on the top of
the upper arm. Power is transmitted from the electric motor to the drill chuck .

DRILLNG MACHINE WORKING PRINCIPLE

The working principle of this flexible drilling machine is initially started from
the D.C. motor through full wave rectifier. In which there is one power sources, received from
the rectifier. Then the arm rotates at 360 degree and moves anywhere when drilling is required
up to its maximum arm length. With the help of my project we can drill in complicated parts
accurately
 PROJECT METHODOLOGY

• Drilling is the operation of producing circular hole in the work-piece by using a rotating cutter
called DRILL.
• The machine used for drilling is called drilling machine.
• The drilling operation can also be accomplished in lathe, in which the drill is held in tailstock and
the work is held by the chuck.
• The most common drill used is the twist drill.

Two main type of drilling:-

• Hand drilling machine
• Fixed table drilling machine
As our project is on hand drill machine, we will talk about hand drill machines
advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:-
• Compact in size.
• Easy to carry.
• Low cost.
• Can drill in any direction where human can reach

Disadvantages:-
• Only small diameter of holes can be drilled.
 Cannot get a through hole because of vibrations.
 Less stability.
So looking at the disadvantages we came up with a project which can
remove these disadvantages of hand drill machine.
 DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE DRILLING MACHINE

DESIGN:
 .

WORKING

1) In which all the component is mounted on table. This support the arm to rotate freely.
2) Arm rotates manually when where it is required.
3) Motor are mounted on Arm which moves where work piece is to drill.
4) Put drill bit point on work piece area where drill is required.
5) Switch on the main supply which of A.C.
6) Then this A.C. flow through Rectifier and convert to Pure D.C.
7) This rotates motor and also bit rotates.
8) After make hole where on work piece is required.
9) Then switch off the main supply
