Custom CNC machining services are known for their accuracy, precision, fast turnaround time, and reliability. They employ a lot of processes to this end, including milling, punching, welding and drilling. A CNC drill press is a fundamental tool in any CNC machine shop, used to achieve precise holes. However, there are multiple varieties of CNC drill presses to consider. 5 such types of presses are addressed in this blog.
This type of drill press features a geared spindle head that allows it to drill through heavy workpieces. The increased force production also allows it to easily drill holes in large surfaces.
This type of drill press also has an upright position. The only difference is that the spindle head is free to move instead of being fixed. Instead, the workpiece is fixed in this setup. This allows the drill to make precise holes faster and with ease than its stationary counterpart.
Even more effective than a radial arm drill press is a multiple spindle drilling machine. It has multiple spindles to which multiple drills are attached. Consequently, they can make multiple holes through a workpiece simultaneously. This makes them one of the most common machines used in custom CNC machining services.
For exceptionally accurate drilling, the best choice is a micro-drill press. Their small chucks allow them to achieve this effortlessly. This is why they are used mainly in applications where there are very tight tolerances and a high level of accuracy is mandatory.
As the name suggests, this type of drilling machine has a turrent with several working heads. So not only can they drill holes simultaneously, but the tools can also be changed easily, making them a vital tool in any CNC machine shop.
