A manual feed drilling cum tapping machine is a versatile tool used in metalworking and machining industries for drilling holes and tapping threads in metal workpieces. This type of machine combines the functionalities of a drilling machine and a tapping machine into one unit, allowing operators to perform both operations with a single piece of equipment. Here's how it typically works:
1. **Setup:** The operator sets up the workpiece on the machine's worktable or clamping fixture, ensuring it is securely held in place.
2. **Drilling:** The operator selects the appropriate drill bit and positions it over the desired drilling location on the workpiece. Using manual controls, they lower the drill bit onto the workpiece and start the drilling operation. The drill bit rotates at high speed, cutting into the metal to create a hole of the desired diameter.
3. **Tapping:** Once the drilling operation is complete, the operator switches the machine to tapping mode. They select the appropriate tapping tool (tap) and position it over the drilled hole on the workpiece. Using manual controls, they lower the tap onto the workpiece and initiate the tapping operation. The tap rotates and cuts threads into the walls of the drilled hole, creating internal threads of the desired size and pitch.
4. **Feed Control:** In a manual feed drilling cum tapping machine, the operator manually controls the feed rate and depth of both the drilling and tapping operations. This allows for precise control over the machining process and ensures accurate results.
5. **Unloading:** Once the drilling and tapping operations are complete, the operator unloads the finished workpiece from the machine and may proceed with further machining or assembly processes as needed.
Manual feed drilling cum tapping machines offer several advantages, including:
- **Versatility:** They can perform both drilling and tapping operations, eliminating the need for separate machines and reducing setup time and space requirements.- **Cost-Effectiveness:** Combining multiple functions into one machine can be more cost-effective than purchasing separate drilling and tapping machines.- **Control:** Operators have direct control over the machining process, allowing for adjustments to feed rates, depths, and other parameters as needed.- **Suitability for Small-Scale Operations:** Manual feed machines are often more affordable and suitable for small-scale production or workshop environments where automation may not be necessary or practical.
These machines are commonly used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and manufacturing plants for producing a wide range of metal components with drilled and tapped holes.
