Radial Driller

Radial drills are a type of drill in which the drill bit movement occurs perpendicular to the drill body. The working principle is as follows:

Drill Bit Movement: The main feature of radial drills is that the drill bit movement occurs at right angles. It provides a vertical drilling process between the drill bit and the workpiece.

Arm Movement: Radial drills usually have a drill unit placed on a lever. This arm can move up and down or forwards and backwards. The drill bit is positioned according to the hole positions in the workpiece by the movement of the arm.

Drill Bench: The workpiece is placed on a drill bench, which is usually attached to a fixed table or platform.

Drill Speed and Feed Speed: When the drill bit is directed towards the workpiece, it is rotated using the appropriate speed and feed rate. It is set depending on the type of material and the requirements of the drilling process.

Drilling Process: The drill bit moves towards the workpiece, cutting and drilling through the material as it rotates. This process is repeated to create the desired hole on the workpiece. It is recommended to use a tapered shank type drill bit to ensure precision in the drilling process.

Radial drills are widely used in precision drilling operations and drilling of large parts. It ensures that the workpieces are drilled in the correct position and angle. This makes them ideal for industrial applications that require precision.

The accessories that are important in the use of radial drill are as follows:

Drill Bits: It is important to choose suitable drill bits for different materials. You can perform effective and efficient operations by using drill bits suitable for materials such as steel, cast iron, copper, aluminium or alloy steels.

Drill Bench: It is important to use a suitable drill bench or platform to stabilise the workpiece. This ensures that the workpiece is held securely and helps to stabilise it in the correct position.

Safety Equipment: It is important to use safety equipment such as eye protection, ear protection and appropriate gloves during drilling operations. This prevents potential accidents and ensures the safety of the operator.

Cooling Systems: When working at high temperatures, such as in metalworking, it is important to use cooling systems. These systems cool the drill bit and workpiece, preventing overheating, reducing wear and making the process more efficient.

Accessories make the use of a radial drill more effective, efficient and safe. They are important for the correct positioning of the workpiece, the precision of the cutting process and the safety of the operator.

Regular maintenance of radial drills is very important to maintain their performance and ensure their long life. Some steps to be considered when maintaining radial drills are as follows.

Cleaning: It is very important to clean radial drills before and after use. The accumulation of contaminants such as dust, chips and oil can have a negative effect on the drill. Clean the drill unit and work area using a dust vacuum or cleaning brush.

Lubrication: Regular lubrication of moving parts in radial drills is important. Lubrication reduces friction and makes the parts move more smoothly. Identify the lubrication points recommended by the manufacturer and lubricate using a suitable lubricating oil. Renewing the hydraulic oil in the system once a year minimises wear in the hydraulic system by removing particles in the oil and extends its service life.

Parts Inspection: Regularly check the moving parts and connection points of the radial drills. If you detect any wear, loose connections or damage, replace or repair parts as necessary.

Gears: The condition of the gears in the radial drills should be checked regularly. Clean and lubricate the gears if necessary. If damaged gears are not replaced, greater damage may occur.

Electrical Connections: Check the electrical connections of the radial drills regularly. If the cables are damaged, replace them if necessary. Ensure the safety of plug and socket connections. Damaged and out of phase cables can cause the motors in your drill to burn out.

Cooling System: If you are working at high temperatures, such as metalworking, you should regularly check the cooling system of radial drills. Check the cooling water level and pressure, clean the cooling filter and maintain the cooling pump if necessary.

Safety Equipment: Ensure that all safety equipment required for the safety of the operator during radial drill operation is intact and in working order. Wear protective equipment such as eye protection, ear protection and suitable gloves. Never use loose clothing.
