SYNOPSIS
This project deals with Design and Fabrication of Automatic Tapping and Drilling
Machine.
In the present market the combined drilling cum tapping machine is not available.
For tapping we need either a manual process or a tapping attached in a drilling machine.
The former one consumes lot of time the later is quite costlier.
For tapping operation we need to rotate the spindle in both clockwise and counter
clockwise direction. In our machine we have made bevel gear arrangement for auto
Thus based on the functional and economical aspects we have fabricated a unique
machine.

INDRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
DRILLING PROCESS:
drilling machine holes may be drilled quickly. The holes is generated by the rotating
edge of a cutting tool known as the drill which exerts large force on the work clamped on
the table. As the machine exerts vertical pressure to originate a hole it is also called as a
“Drill Press”.
TAPPING PROCESS:
cutting tool called Tap. A tap has cutting edges in the shape of threads. When the tap is
screwed into a hole it removes metal and cuts internal threads for tapping the hole drilled
The tapping process is activated using a multi point cutting tool called “TAP”.
The Tap is held in the main spindle with the help of collect Chuck / Drill chuck. The
spindle gets its drive power from the motor by means of the V-belt. The travel of the
“TAP” over the entire thickness of the work piece is obtained by Rack and Pinion
arrangement. In this machine the friction cone mechanism is employed. This consists of
three cones one fiber cone and two mild steel cones. They are in such a way that two
cones engage at a tune. The fiber cone is held in the main drive shaft and two MS cones
are held in main vertical spindle. In the initial stage the upper MS cone is engaged with
fiber cone due to its self weight. As the power supply is given the spindle rotates in the
Slots are provided for holding the work piece accurately. When the work piece is loaded
on the tool, the lower MS cone engage with the fiber cone and simultaneously upper MS
cone disengages, and thus clockwise rotation of the spindle is obtained. The speed
bought down engaging upper cone with the fiber cone and hence the tap reverses,
finishing the operation. If the material is hard the cone slips and breakage of the tap is
The drilling process is activated using a multi point cutting tool called “Drill”.
The Drill is held in the main spindle by a collat Chuck / Drill Chuck. The Spindle gets its
drive power from the motor by means of ‘V’ Belt. The travel of the “Drill” over the
entire thickness of the work piece is achieved by the movement of the Rack and Pinion.
In this machine we made use of reversing switch in order to attain the anti –
Clockwise Rotation of the spindle. Initially, the upper cone is engaged with Fiber cone.
Thus rotating in clockwise direction as the work piece is loaded the lower cone engages
with the fiber cone and hence, the Anti – Clockwise rotation of the spindle is obtained.
The spindle speed requires for the Drilling operation is around 1000 rpm.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR MACHINE TOOLS
Possibility of easy assembly of structures and its parts and easy dismantling.
Necessity to design all structures and its parts i.e. size and shape of the structure in
The procedure for the designing a machine usually involves the following main
steps.
Preliminary design.
Presentation of drawings.
Before proceeding to design, the problem should be well defined i.e. The design
engineer should make it clear, what exactly is the requirement i.e. for example Design
and Fabrication of Tapping cum drilling machine. The designer should design the
machine in such a case that the machine can perform operations on Ductile & Brittle
Materials and the tap size ranging from 0 to 6 mm whatever be the mechanism or
The selection of a proper mechanism for the machine part is usually decided by
the purpose for which the part is to be designed. Considerations are given to strength
wear, accuracy of relation efficiency and cost speed reduction in our case is obtained
Selection of Materials:
Strength, Rigidity, Cost, Corrosion resistance, Machinability & Surface finish are
the primary consideration in the selection of materials for the machine member. In our
case except base all other elements are made up of mild steel for easy fabrication.
Preliminary design:
After selecting suitable materials and mechanism, the working stress and design
stress can be determined. The dimensions of machine members are fixed by strength
consideration, keeping the stress below the Design stress. The dimensions are rounded to
After making the preliminary design, the design should be revised to suit the
following requirements.
Ease of manufacturing.
Ease of assembling.
SELECTION OF BELT:
We know,
D = d x ( n₁/n₂ ) x η
η - Efficiency = 0.98
Speed of larger pulley (n₂) = 63.53 x (720/114.35) x 0.98
= 392 RPM
{(114.35-65.53)²/(4 x 500)}
= 1280 mm
Where,
A = (L/4) – {Π(D+d)/8}
= (1280/4) – {Π(114.35-63.53)/8}
= 250.14 mm
B = {(D-d)²/8} = {(114.35-63.53)²/8}
= 322.83 mm
∴C = 499.6 mm ≈ 500 mm
S = 2.39 m/sec
Kw = 0.62 Kw
= 173.9⁰ ≈ 174≈⁰

Based on the design and drawings made, the fabrication is done. Considering the
production aspects i.e. manufacturing criteria the tapping cum drilling machine is
fabricated. The raw materials are purchased and the machining operation is performed.
