FABRICATION OF PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED

MULTIPURPOSE DRILLING MACHINE

INTRODUCTION;
It is important that technicians and engineers should have a good knowledge of
pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories.
The aim of our project is to design and fabricate a pneumatically controlled
device. With this device a number of operation can be performed. They are Drilling,
Reaming, boring and grinding.
SYNOPSIS;
This device is operated by compressed air. It consist of the following main parts.
1.Barrel, 2.Shaft, 3.Frame and supporting column, 4.Polyurethane tube 5.handle etc.
A high pressure compressed air is forced on a fan and the fan is made to rotate. This
rotation is transmitted to the machining head by a shaft . The drill holding chuck is
mounted at the end of the shaft and with the help of drill bit or grinding stone, the
required operation i.e a hole is to be drilled in a part in an automobile, or the particular
part is to be grind. By using this pneumatically operated device holes can be drilled in the
required part with one dismantling it from the vehicle. .
WORKING PRINCIPLE;
The operation of this unit having one air motor . The rotor shaft of the air motor is
similar to the portable hand operated electric drill. This hand held air drill device is
supported in a spring controlled slide on a M.S. fabricated stand . This slide is moved
against the spring pressure with a handle to make a drill in the workpiece.

APPLICATIONS;
In automobile shops various operation are required frequently Drilling, Boring,
Reaming, Grinding etc. It is also used as a screw driver for tightening and loosening nuts
and bolts. It is used
1.In automobile workshops.
2.In small scale industries.
3.In such places where frequent changes in operations are required.
4.In welding shops for grinding.

ADVANTAGES;
The pneumatically operated multi purpose device has many advantages. They are as
follows:
* Low cost, so it can be used in small scale industries.
* higher rate and quicker operation.
* A number of operation like (drilling),reaming etc., can be done.
*The weight of the machine is concentrated towards the machining head to facilitate
easy manipulation of the machining.
*The design is simple and there is no maintenance required. The control valve for
allowing or restricting air may be placed on handle to make easier to control the speed of
the machine
*The maximum rpm of the unit of the unit is 7000rpm. The speed provides a torque
which is suitable for machining. The maximum pressure that can be used is 7kg km.The
rpm and torque can be varied by varying the pressure of the air inlet.
CONCLUSIONS;
This pneumatically operated multi purpose device is used for various operations
with a less amount of investment. By fabricating this unit will experience the machine
building .
