SENSIBLE DRILLING OPERATION

Abstract

Involvement of automation manufacturing technology plays an important role in enhancing the quality of
process & products. An automated device which replaces manual involvement is an extraordinary contribution to the
mankind. In this paper, stress is laid on the designing of an automatic drilling system so to perform drilling operation
automatically inefficient way. Estimating the drilling depth while drilling manually through a conventional drilling
machine is extremely impossible, often the job will be failed due to the over drilling in many cases, after completing the
drilling work, it is very difficult to measure the depth; especially thin holes depth can’t be measured. Therefore an
automatic drilling machine that performs the function of drilling according to the drilling depth generated. It is aimed to
drill the job up to certain specified depth. The actuation & control part is taken care with the help of actuating elements
like DC motor & by programming it effectively using microcontroller. Finally the prototype model is developed in order
to facilitate drilling operation with ease & accuracy. The drilling operation is performed by the combination of the
movements of the drilling system & the base on which work piece is kept for drill operation. Innovative design & efficient
programming have been merge to generate a device which will significantly contribute to the field of production.
