CHAPTER ONE
1 INRTODUCTION
Drilling is an operation of making a circular hole by removing a volume of metal from the job by
cutting tool called drill. A drill is a rotary end-cutting tool with one or more cutting lips and usually
one or more flutes for the passage of chips and the admission of cutting fluid. A drilling machine is a
machine tool designed for drilling holes in metals. It is one of the most important and versatile
machine tools in a workshop. Besides drilling round holes, many other operations can also be
performed on the drilling machine such as counter-boring, countersinking, reaming, honing, lapping,
sanding etc. Because of the three-dimensional nature of these operations, chip movement and its
control are important considerations. Chip removal can be a significant problem (especially in drilling
Multiple- spindle drill machines are used for mass production, a great time saver where many pieces of
jobs having many holes are to be drilled. Multi-spindle head machines are used in mechanical industry
in order to increase the productivity of machining systems. The multi-spindle drilling machines are a
production type of machine. It is used to drill seven holes in a work piece simultaneously, in one
setting. The holes are drilled on number of work pieces with the same accuracy, so as to make
interchangeable. These machines have seven spindles driven by a single motor and all the spindles are
fed in to the work piece simultaneously. Feeding motions are obtained by raising the work table. The
center distance between the drill spindles adjusted at 90mm distance during design. In mass production
work drill jigs are used for guiding the drills in the work piece so as to achieve accurate results.
In today’s market the customer demands the product of right quality, right quantity, right cost, and at
right time. Therefore it is necessary to improve productivity as well as quality. One way to achieve this
The current experiences of most local manufacturing industries have considerable problems in
connection with their product quality, delivery time and price. And this is due to high production cost,
high design and lead time, in efficiency in resource utilization, lack of efficient production planning
and scheduling, material handling problem, and etc. Moreover most of the local manufacturing
industries use the traditional job shop layout, where similar machines and labor with similar skills are
located together. The process or functional layout results in law machine utilization and high wastage
of time. The high cost of set-ups for small batches results in high manufacturing costs.
However, in the existing current production system, small to medium batch production, which
generates a great deal of industrial output, has become dominant manufacturing activity in the world.
This domination comes into being for cop up with the various processing changes; low price short
delivery time, high quality level, minimum raw material price, etc. one and the best method to cope up
with the above changes in small to medium batch production is the use of appropriate production
process and machine equipment . From manufacturing point of view, this drill machine attempts to
decrease production cost by reducing production time and other tangible and intangible costs.
Thus to realize these advantage for the local industries, drilling machine is chosen as a research topics.
And Selam Technical and Vocational Collage is taken as a case since it is one of the early established
manufacturing factories, which is in great difficulty to coup up with the existing completion due to its
high production cost; delay delivery, low product quality level, etc. In this company we saw that
drilling many holes on the metal bars process takes place by using vertical single spindle drilling
machine. This single spindle machine drills one hole at one cycle and the needed holes on one bar of
metal are seven. To drill seven holes the operator cycles seven times the spindle this takes a lot of
production time. Also when mass production of metal bar is needed it takes much more production
time. Also there is no hole center distance accuracy between because of the holes are not drilled at the
In this thesis we want to improve this process or solve this problem by designing vertical multi-spindle
drilling machine. Vertical multi-spindle drilling machine have seven spindles that arranged
horizontally in line and rotate at their position and the work piece holding table moves up and down by
using handle manually in order to fulfill drilling process. The multi-spindle drilling machine is used to
drill a number of holes in a job simultaneously and to produce the same pattern of holes in a number of
identical pieces in a mass production work. This machine has seven spindles and all the spindles
holding drills are fed into the work simultaneously. Therefore, the implication of drilling machine will
The problem which this thesis is focus is found from company called selam technical and vocational
collage (Selam children’s village) which is technical school and a place where income generating
activities are performed. In this company we saw that drilling many holes on the metal bars process
takes place by using vertical single spindle drilling machine. This single spindle machine drills one
hole at one cycle and the needed holes on one bar of metal are seven. To drill seven holes the operator
cycles seven times the spindle this takes a lot of production time. Also when mass production of metal
bar is needed it takes much more production time. This reduces the company’s productivity and
efficiency. In this thesis we want to improve this process or solve this problem by designing vertical
multi-spindle drilling machine. Vertical multi-spindle drilling machine have seven spindles that
arranged horizontally in line which are connected or welded each other so that they come down at the
same time and drills seven holes and return back by rack and pinion mechanism using handle
manually.
This thesis addresses the problem encountered by rice mill machine manufacturing industries with
repect to the productivity, effective use of time and quality by analyzing drill machine in drilling of
hole on the bar. By the end of this research the Selam vocational and technical college will have well

CHAPTER TWO
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
A drilling machine, called a drill press, is used to cut holes into or through metal, wood, or other
materials. Drilling machines use a drilling tool that has cutting edges at its point. This cutting tool is
held in the drill press by a chuck or Morse taper and is rotated and fed into the work at variable speeds.
Drilling machines may be used to perform other operations. They can perform countersinking, boring,
counter boring, spot facing, reaming, and tapping. Drill press operators must know how to set up the
work, set speed and feed, and provide for coolant to get an acceptable finished product. The size or
capacity of the drilling machine is usually determined by the largest piece of stock that can be center-
drilled. For instance, 15-inch drilling machines can center-drill a 30-inch-diameter piece of stock.
Other ways to determine the size of the drill press are by the largest hole that can be drilled, the
distance between the spindle and column, and the vertical distance between the worktable and spindle.
All drilling machines have the following construction characteristics: a spindle, Sleeve or quill,
The spindle holds the drill or cutting tools and revolves in a fixed position in a sleeve. In most
drilling machines, the spindle is vertical and the work is supported on a horizontal table.
The sleeve or quill assembly does not revolve but may slide in its bearing in a direction parallel
to its axis. When the sleeve carrying the spindle with a cutting tool is lowered, the cutting tool
is fed into the work: and when it is moved upward, the cutting tool is withdrawn from the
work.
Feed pressure applied to the sleeve by hand or power causes the revolving drill to cut its way
The worktable is supported on an arm mounted to the column. The worktable can be adjusted
vertically to accommodate different heights of work. or it may be swung completely out of the
way. It may be tilted up to 90 in either direction, to allow for long pieces to be end or angled
drilled.
The base of the drilling machine supports the entire machine and when bolted to the floor
provides for vibration-free operation and best machining accuracy. The top of the base is
similar to a worktable and maybe equipped with T-slots for mounting work too large for the
table.
By using multi-spindle drilling head productivity will increase. Because with the present
process one hole produces at a time requires 4 minutes for each component (because tool
change takes place for drilling 5mm hole (for M6x1 tap)). i.e. 12-15 parts are produced during
one hour, but by using multi-spindle drilling head cycle time approximately takes place 1
The cost per piece is reduced. As seen in conclusion no.1 the production rate is approximately
double by using multi-spindle drilling head. The machine used for multi-spindle drilling head
is same (Radial drilling machine) which present uses to produce the part, so machine hour rate
remains unchanged.
2.3 MANUFACTURING
The Multi-spindle drilling head requires various components, the major components are gear box,
drilling spindle, gear shafts, main spindle gear, drive gears, idler gears etc. It requires various
machines to manufacture them like band saw machine for cutting operation, lathe machine for rough
machining, drilling machine, surface grinding machine, cylindrical grinding machine, internal grinding
2.4 LUBRICATION
Lubrication is important because of the heat and friction generated by the moving parts. Follow the
manufacturers manual for proper lubrication methods. Clean each machine after use. Also remove
chips to avoid damage to moving parts. Wipe all spindles and sleeves free of grit to avoid damaging
the precision fit. Put a light coat of oil on all unpainted surfaces to prevent rust. Operate all machines

2) Spindle is made up of alloy steel. It rotates as well as moves up and down in a sleeve. A pinion
engages a rack fixed on the sleeve to provide vertical up and down motion of the spindle and
hence the drill so that the same can be fed in to the work piece or withdrawn from it while
drilling.
3) Drill chuck is held at the end of the drill spindle and in turn it holds the drill bit.
4) Adjustable work piece table is supported on the column of the drilling machine. It can be moved
vertically up and down. Tables are generally having slots so that the jig and fixture can be

It ensures efficient large scale production on production lines and special machines. Several spindles
per head ensure simultaneous processing of several drillings in one working cycle. Thus, machining
Transmission of power from a source, electric motor, through a machine to the drill is the major task
of this section. An efficient means of transmitting power is through rotary motion of a shaft that is
supported by bearings. Gears, chain sprockets are incorporated to provide for torque and speed
changes between shafts. Most shafts are cylindrical (solid and hollow), and include stepped diameters
with shoulders to accommodate the positioning and support of bearings, gears, etc. The design of a
system to transmit power requires attention to the design and selection of individual components
Kinematic system in any machine tool is comprised of chain(s) of several mechanisms and gears to
enable transform and transmit motion(s) from the power source(s) to the cutting tool and the
workpiece for the desired machining action. The kinematic structure varies from machine tool to
machine tool requiring different type and number of tool-work motions. Even for the same type of
machine tool the designer may take different kinematic structure depending upon productivity, process
The kinematic system enables the drilling machine the following essential works;
Cutting motion: The cutting motion in drilling machines is attained by rotating the drill at different
speeds (r.p.m.). Like center lathes, milling machines etc., drilling machines also need to have a
reasonably large number of spindle speeds to cover the useful ranges of work material, tool material,
drill diameter, machining and machine tool conditions. But, our machine has four spindle speeds
because it uses for single application only (8mm carbon steel plate).
Feed motion: In drilling machines, generally both the cutting motion and feed motion are imparted to
the drill. Like cutting velocity or speed, the feed (rate) also needs varying (within a range) depending
upon the tool-work materials and other conditions and requirements. This is not the case for our
machine the feed motion is by using the movement of the work table rather imparting it into the drill.
This is because of the kinematics difficulty to move the seven spindles together. The feed rate can be
varied manually by giving either slow or quicker motion to the work table by the working operator.
Tool work mounting: The taper shank drills are fitted into the taper hole of the spindle through taper
socket(s). Small straight shank drills are fitted through a drill chuck having taper shank. The
workpiece is kept rigidly fixed on the bed (of the table). Small jobs are generally held in vice and large
or odd shaped jobs are directly mounted on the bed by clamping tools using the T-slots made in the top
STEP1. Power and torque requirements: Power considerations should be addressed first, as this will
determine the overall sizing needs for the entire system. Any necessary speed or torque ratio from

1. The cutting speed or surface speed (vc): the cutting speed for drilling is determined by the periphery
speed and can be calculated from the spindle speed (N). There are four spindle speeds for our drill
head and therefore four possible cutting speeds are calculated below.
NOTE THAT: The optimum drill speed for a particular setup is affected by many factors, including
the following: Composition, hardness & thermal conductivity (k) of material , Depth of hole ,
Efficiency of cutting fluid , Type, condition and stiffness of drilling machine , Stiffness of, workpiece,
fixture and tooling (shorter is better) , Quality of holes desired , life of tool before regrind or
replacement.
2. The feed per revolution (ƒn): in mm/rev expresses the axial movement of the tool during one
3. The penetration rate or feed speed (vf): in mm/min is the feed of the tool in relation to the
workpiece expressed in length per unit of time. This is also known as the machine feed or table feed.
The product of feed per revolution and spindle speed gives the rate at which the drill penetrates the
workpiece.

5. Torque (m) in Nm is regard as the total drilling moment that the drill is subjected to during
machining. The feed, diameter and material are the main factors that affect the torque value. The

6. The feed force (ff): in N is usually the most important in drilling from a performance point of view.
This is the axial force acting on the drill as it penetrates the material. It needs to be considered in order
to ensure that the spindle power and strength is sufficient for the drilling operation.
The feed force is equal to the axial thrust force created during drilling application.

The feed factor for drilling at feed of 0.3 is therefore 0.382 (table A-4)

The tool wear factor for normal drilling operation is therefore 1.3 (table A-3)
The work material factor for steel having Brinell hardness number is therefore 24,000 (table A-7)
8. Estimating machining power: Knowledge of the power required to perform machining operations is
useful when planning new machining operations, for optimizing existing machining operations, and to
The power required to cut a material is dependent upon the rate at which the material being cut and
upon an experimentally determined power constant (unit power or specific power consumption), Kp.
The power constant is the power required to cut a unit of material removal rate. The unit of power
constant is Kw/ (cm3/s) for metric unit; which is tabulated for different material see appendix A.
The power constant for steel material having Brinell hardness number (BHN) 200 is therefore 2.32

The chains are mostly used to transmit motion and power from one shaft to another, when the centre
distance between their shafts is short such as in bicycles, motor cycles, agricultural machinery,
The chains may also be used for long center distance of up to 8 meters. The chains are used for
velocities up to 25 m/s and for power up to 110kw. In some cases, higher power transmission is also
possible.
ADVANTAGES OF CHAIN
As no slip takes place during chain drive, hence perfect velocity ratio is obtained.
Since the chins are made of metal, therefore they occupy less space in width than a belt or
rope drive.
It has the ability to transmit motion to several shafts by one chain only.
DISADVANTAGES
The chain drive needs accurate mounting and careful maintenance, particularly lubrication and
slack adjustment.
The chain drive has velocity fluctuations especially when unduly (excessively) stretched.
These chains are used for transmission of power, when the distance between the centers of shaft is short.
These chains have provision for efficient lubrication. The power transmitting chains are of the following
three types.
1. Block or bush chain. These types of chain were used in the early stages of development in the power
transmission. It produces noise when approaching or leaving the teeth of the sprocket because of rubbing
2. Bush roller chain. A bush roller chain as shown in Fig. 21.7 consists of outer plates or pin link plates,
inner plates or roller link plates, pins, bushes and rollers. A pin passes through the bush which is secured
in the holes of the roller between the two sides of the chain. The rollers are free to rotate on the bush
which protects the sprocket wheel teeth against wear. The pins, bushes and rollers are made of alloy steel.
A bush roller chain is extremely strong and simple in construction. It gives good service under severe
conditions. There is a little noise with this chain which is due to impact of the rollers on the sprocket
wheel teeth. This chain may be used where there is a little lubrication.
The roller chains are standardized and manufactured on the basis of pitch. These chains are available in
single-row or multi-row roller chains such as simple, duplex or triplex strands, as shown in Fig3.5.
CHAIN DESIGN
We have one chain and 12 sprockets, and 7 gears for our mechanism; one chain for reduction of speed
and the gears for transmitting motion from the main spindle to the rest of each spindle. Four integrated
sprockets on the motor shaft, four integrated sprockets are on the top of the main spindle and on the idler
shaft and the gears on each spindle. This mechanism is easily understood by looking the drawing. We are
used gear system instead of either belt or chain mechanism because with the belt we can’t transmit
motion from the main spindle to each spindle as we need and to use the chain it is impossible since the
IDLER SPROCKETS: when the drive and the driven sprocket centers are fixed it may be desirable to
include idlers sprocket to take up slack in the chain. Idler sprockets should preferably be located against
the slack side of the chain with in the chain envelope-diverting the chain outwards.
1 speed reduction chain: the motor speed must be reduced at the drill to power the drilling operation
since motors have low torque. This can be accomplished by reducing the speed of the motor and
increasing the torque by using the speed reducing chain in the motion transmitting mechanism.

From Table A-9, we find that for the roller chain, the number of teeth on the smaller sprocket or pinion

From Table A-12, we find that corresponding to a pinion speed of 1400 r.p.m. the power transmitted for

The standard profiles for the teeth of a sprocket are shown in Fig. 3.7. According to Indian Standards (IS:
2403 – 1991), the principal dimensions of the tooth profile are as follows:
Da = D + 1.25p – d1……………..maximum
= 0.95b1 when p > 12.7𝑚𝑚 where b1 is the width of plates, which is 11.68mm.
For pitch of 19.05mm the tooth width becomes, bf1 = 0.95b1= 0.95× 11.68 = 11.09𝑚𝑚
The following are the advantages and disadvantages of the gear drive as compared to other drives, i.e.
Advantages
Disadvantages
1. Since the manufacture of gears requires special tools and equipment, therefore it is costlier than
other drives.
2. The error in cutting teeth may cause vibrations and noise during operation.
3. It requires suitable lubricant and reliable method of applying it, for the proper operation of gear
drives.
2. The gradual engagement of the teeth and the smooth transfer of load from one tooth to
another that give helical gears the ability to transmit heavy loads at high speeds.
3. Helical gears can be used for the same applications as spur gears and, when so used, are not as
noisy, because of the more gradual engagement of the teeth during meshing.
4. Helical gears subject the shaft bearings to both radial and thrust loads. When the thrust loads
become high or are objectionable for other reasons, it may be desirable to use double helical
gears.
Design the seven helical gears: The power transmitted by the gears, P = 8KW and the speed of the gears,
Though the proportions for helical gears are not standardized, yet the following are recommended by
Pressure angle (in the plane of rotation), = 150 to 250, let = 200
Circular pitch, pc= m = 4.5 = 14.14 mm, Normal pitch, pn = pccos = 14.14 cos 25 = 12.8 mm

In order to have more than one pair of teeth in contact, the tooth displacement (i.e. the advancement of
one end of tooth over the other end) or overlap should be at least equal to the axial pitch, such that
The axial or end thrust is given by WA = WN sin () = WT tan () ………. equation 2
From equation (1), we see that as the helix angle increases, then the tooth overlap increases. But at the
same time, the end thrust as given by equation (2), also increases, which is undesirable. It is usually

The housing design process must be both creative and practical. What provisions should be made to
mount the bearings accurately and to transmit the bearing loads safely through the case to the
structure. How will the various elements be assembled into the housing? How will the gears and
bearings be lubricated? What housing material should be used? Should the housing be a casting, a
weldment, or an assembly of machined parts? Are the main questions asked to lay the layout of the
housing.
The design process as outlined here implies that the design can progress in sequence: from the chain to
the shaft, to the bearings, to the gears and keys, and finally to the housing.
Since the cast iron is a brittle material, therefore, it cannot be used in those parts of machines which
are subjected to shocks. The properties of cast iron which make it a valuable material for engineering
purposes are its low cost, good casting characteristics, high compressive strength, wear resistance and
excellent machineability. The compressive strength of cast iron is much greater than the tensile
strength. A portion of the housing is used to analyze whether it fails or can resist the shear stress.

The jigs and fixtures are the economical ways to produce a component in mass. So jigs and fixtures are
used and serve as one of the most important facility of mass production system. These are special
work holding and tool guiding device. The quality of performance of a process largely influenced by
quality of jigs and fixtures used for this purpose. What makes a fixture unique is that each one is built
to fit a particular part or shape. The main purpose of a fixture is to locate and in the cases hold a work
piece during an operation. A jig differs from a fixture in the sense that it guides the tool to its correct
position or towards to its correct movements during an operation in addition to locating and supporting
i. It reduces or sometimes eliminates the efforts of marking, measuring and setting of work
ii. The work piece and tool are relatively located at their exact positions before the operation
iv. Due to low variability in dimension assembly operations becomes very easy, low rejection
vi. The operating conditions like speed, feed rate and depth of cut can be set to higher values
vii. Operators working become comfortable as his efforts in setting in work piece can be
eliminated.

design engineer. The following are the various manufacturing processes used in mechanical
engineering.
1. Primary shaping processes. The processes used for the preliminary shaping of the machine
components. The common operations used for this process are casting, forging, extruding, rolling,
2. Machining processes. The processes used for giving final shape to the machine component,
according to planned dimensions. The common operations used for this process are turning, planning,
shaping, drilling, boring, reaming, sawing, broaching, milling, grinding, hobbing, etc.
3. Surface finishing processes. The processes used to provide a good surface finish for the machine
component are known as surface finishing processes. The common operations used for this process are
polishing, buffing, honing, lapping, abrasive belt grinding, barrel tumbling, electroplating,
4. Joining processes. The processes used for joining machine components are known as joining
processes. The common operations used for this process are welding, riveting, soldering, brazing,
5. Processes effecting change in properties. These processes are used to impart certain specific
properties to the machine components so as to make them suitable for particular operations or uses.
Such processes are heat treatment, hot-working, cold-working and shot peening.

Multi-spindle drill machine is a type of drill machine which drills several holes at the same time or
spontaneously. It increase productivity, save time, and good surface finish and have good precision of
product. In this thesis mechanical design of machine, cost analysis, standard element selection,
manufacturing case, operation condition, assembly and disassembly and lubrication case of machine
are clearly stated or considered. Typically this machine is designed to improving and increasing
productivity of Selam Technical and Vocational Collage in the manufacturing of rice mill machine.
Also it enables the company to mass production within few working time with accurate hole center
distance in manufacturing metal bar used in rice mill machine. The machine equipped with electric
motor, gear, and sprocates with chain. The feed is given by means of rack and pinion mechanism
which is the table with work piece is pushed up and down by rotating handle.
This thesis not only includes the design of multi-spindle drill machine but also it includes the design of
jig and fixture to hold the work piece and fix it in position and to inhibit the vibration during drilling

APPENDIX
Dynamic factors are used to account for inaccuracies in the manufacture and meshing of gear teeth in
action. Transmission error is defined as the departure from uniform angular velocity of the gear pair.
Inaccuracies produced in the generation of the tooth profile; these include errors in
Gear shaft misalignment and the linear and angular deflection of the shaft
Tooth friction
In an attempt to account for these effects, AGMA has defined a set of quality numbers. These numbers
define the tolerances for gears of various sizes manufactured to a specified accuracy. Quality numbers
3 to 7 will include most commercial-quality gears. Quality numbers 8 to 12 are of precision quality.
The AGMA transmission accuracy level number Qv could be taken as the same as the quality number.
The following equations for the dynamic factor are based on these Qv numbers: let Qv = 5
A = 50 + 56 (1 − 𝐵) = 50 + 56 1 – 0.915 = 54.77
𝐵 0.915
𝐴 + 200𝑉 54.77 + 200∗1.41
Kv = = = 1.277
𝐴 54.77
The size factor reflects non-uniformity of material properties due to size. It depends upon
Tooth size, Diameter of part, Ratio of tooth size to diameter of part, Face width, Area of stress pattern,
The load-distribution factor modified the stress equations to reflect nonuniform distribution of load
across the line of contact. The ideal is to locate the gear ―midspan‖ between
two bearings at the zero slope place when the load is applied. However, this is not always possible.
• Face widths up to 40 in
• Contact, when loaded, across the full width of the narrowest member
The load-distribution factor under these conditions is currently given by the face load distribution
