| description | The modern assemblies of various machines such as engines, gears trains, and body panels require a highly
precise drilling operation. These precisely drilled holes not only ensure the efficiency by constrained motions of these machines’ parts but also ensure longer service life. Moreover, precision drilling shall also ensure no subsequent
requirement of reaming resulting in time and cost-saving. The precise drilling operation cannot be achieved
unless highly precise machinery (CNC) is being utilized requiring higher initial investment (Pkr 1000000), or
highly skilled workers demanding about twice the labor than the semi-skilled person. Being a small-sized industry,
for profitability, a low-cost solution was proposed in this current work. To obtain precise drilling operation by the
application of a drilling jig (Pkr 3000) on the manual bench drill machine (Pkr 15000), by a semi-skilled worker. In
this work, a drilling jig has been designed, fabricated, and analyzed. This jig also can rotate the workpiece in
clockwise/counter-clockwise directions. The drilled holes measurements provided the evidence that under the
spindle speeds of 340, 700, and 1000 rpm, the closer dimensional values (~0.1mm) can be obtained, resulting in the elimination of rework and extra cost, along with the setup-time reduction by eliminating marking and center
punching process, with the application of jig. It was concluded that the jig is quite applicable and can be
substituted with high-cost CNC machines as a low-cost solution to the local small and medium-scale manufacturing
industries. |
