Fabrication and Automation of Drilling Machine by Arduino Control

Abstract: For precision workpiece manufacturing, the system should have good dimensional accuracy and surface finish. In applications such as drilling, punching, marking, boring, tapping, etc., the workpiece is first positioned, and then the tool executes its action while the moving axis remains stationary. In the traditional method of such applications, manufacturers use very expensive CNC machines to program the cycle and perform the same work. Large manufacturers can afford such expensive machines, but for the small machinery manufacturing industry, we must consider low-cost solutions that can provide highquality output. In this study, we tried to propose a low-cost design that can be used to achieve functions similar to CNC. By applying this machine in industry, multiple generations can be obtained in a short time. It is very difficult to estimate the drilling depth when manually drilling with a traditional drilling machine, and the work will usually fail due to over-drilling. In many cases, it is difficult to measure the depth after the drilling is completed; especially the depth of the fine hole cannot be measured. Therefore, an automatic drilling machine that performs the drilling function according to the generated drilling depth and transmitted to the control circuit is indispensable; therefore, undertaking the study, it exposed the technology of the dedicated drilling machine. The automatic drilling machine designed here is very useful for the mechanical workshop. The machine is built with power feed technology and is designed to drill the job to a certain specified depth.
