“Boost Drilling and Tapping Efficiency with IYALIA’s Multi-Station SPM Machine”

Posted Date : 14 Mar 2025

Step-by-Step Production Overview
When manufacturing parts that require drilling and tapping, many facilities rely on two separate machines for each operation. As a result, operators must manage extensive setup times, material handling, and labor to move parts from one station to another. This often adds up to more than eight hours per cycle, split between actual machining and idle transit periods.

Initial Preparation
- Identify drilling points and thread dimensions.
- Set up raw materials and organize tooling.
Drilling Operation
- Process commences on a standard drilling machine.
- Operators monitor feed and speed, halting for tool changes or part repositioning.
Material Handling
- Once drilling is complete, operators must unload and transport components to a tapping machine.
- Any scheduling or logistical delays here further extend total cycle time.
Tapping Operation
- Separate setup on a distinct tapping machine.
- Operators perform final threading, ensuring quality checks and correct depth.

Why IYALIA’s SPM Machine?
With IYALIA’s Multi-Spindle SPM, both drilling and tapping happen simultaneously across multiple stations. This innovative approach ensures 5 to 7 times the throughput compared to standard machines. By integrating parallel operations, material handling is dramatically reduced, and parts move smoothly along the production line.

Is an SPM Right for You?

High-Volume Production: If you consistently produce a large number of components that require drilling and tapping, an SPM offers unbeatable efficiency.
Long-Running Parts: For products manufactured for many years—or planned for long-term production—an SPM’s high output will quickly offset initial investment.
New or Low-Volume Parts: If your component is still under development or if quantities are uncertain, a multi-station SPM could be less cost-effective. In such cases, a standard machine may be sufficient.

In Conclusion
Transitioning to an IYALIA SPM Drilling and Tapping machine can drastically reduce process time, cut down on material handling, and supercharge your factory’s throughput. If you’re focused on large-volume, long-term production, this specialized solution is the clear path to higher efficiency and profitability.
