Design and Fabrication of 360 Degree Flexible Drilling Machine

The standard drilling machine is commonly found in every industry. Drill machines are the heart of every industry. In industry making holes in parts, sheets and structures is a regular work. Perfect and well aligned drilling needs fixed and strong drills. Some parts can’t be drilled using fixed drills due to low space between drill bit and drill bed. We need to use hand drills in such cases but hand drills have alignment problems while drilling. So here we propose a 360° flexible drill that can be mounted on a table or wall and can be uses to drill holes horizontally vertically or even upside down. In this thesis a CAD model of 360° flexible drilling machine modeled by using Pro-E. Then the fabrication is carried out based on the CAD model. This idea into the fixed drilling machine to makes it possible to drilling in complicated parts and surfaces. The 360° rotation achieved by various hinges and motor.
