What is a universal radial drilling machine?

Radial Drilling machines are divided into two types: ordinary radial drilling machines and universal radial drilling machines.

One is that the spindle box and the gear box are integrated. They are installed on the rocker arm. The rocker arm is sleeved on the column. The rocker arm can only rotate 360° around the column. Moreover, the spindle on the spindle box can only Drill Vertical holes, which has limitations. This is an ordinary Radial Drilling Machine, generally called a radial Drilling Machine.

The other is that the gear box is sleeved on the column, and the other end is connected to the rocker drill with a rotary disk, fixed with T-bolts. The gear box transmits the power to the spindle through the light bar, and the slide bracket for installing the spindle is also used for return. The turntable is fixed with T-bolts. In this case, the universal radial drilling machine has 3 parts that can rotate 360°. The rocker arm can rotate 360° around the column as a whole, or it can rotate 360° on the gear box, and the main shaft can also rotate 360° on the basis of being parallel to the rocker arm. Through the rotation of these three parts, it is basically possible to ensure that holes of all angles can be drilled.

For example, if you want to use a radial drill to drill an angled inclined hole, you can only choose a universal radial drill, or if your workpiece cannot be drilled on the ground, you can also choose a universal radial drill to set the spindle Rotate it to be perpendicular to the side of the workpiece and punch it.

In short, if you don’t drill diagonal holes, you don’t need to buy a universal radial drill. Ordinary radial drills are more convenient and simple to operate than universal drills. In case there is a failure, the radial drill is easy to maintain. The arm Drill Press is a little more troublesome.

In the general sense, as long as it is a radial drill press, it can be called a universal radial drill. Subdivision is fully automatic. For example, the rocker arm is automatically raised and lowered, automatically locked, automatic cutting feed, fixed-path cutting, and so on.
