Design of Multi Tool Holding Attachment for Radial Drill Machine

Abstract

In many small scale industries General Purpose radial drill machine is used for drilling. On which many jobs are performed by just changing the tool. A special table is required to place the tool. Tables consume a large floor space. To overcome this problem there is a need to design a multi tool holding attachment for radial drill machine. The main purpose of this paper is to design a multi tool holding attachment for radial drill machine. The best solution for this is use of multi tool holding attachment. Here the multiple tools holding attachment can be fixed on the column of the radial drill machine. At a time four tools can be placed on the tool holder. The attachment can revolve about the axis of the column of the radial drill machine. Installing this attachment will reduce the required of floor space. The analysis of the multi tool holding attachment was done on Ansys software. It will also reduce the fatigue to worker which is caused due to regular bending, for changing the tool. Reduction in fatigue improves the decision making quality of the worker and improve his productivity. It’s easy installation and rigid design make it durable and cost efficient.
