Pipe Drilling Machine

An automated system for drilling radial holes into sections of pipe at any point on their length, anywhere around their circumference. This machine was created for a company who specializes in making playground equipment, it allows them to simply make a CAD model of the pipe section, feed it into the control system, and generate a series of identical pipes that can then be used for assembly.
This system is capable of handling pipe lengths from 2 ft to 20 ft with the carriage traveling at 7 feet per second along the length, and will always drill the hole normal to the face even if there is a local deformity or bend.
​
Our customer has estimated that the system has increased productivity in this area by about four times and will allow them to recover the cost of the machine within 8 weeks.
