U Drilling Machines Revolutionizing Efficiency with High Productivity

Posted Date : 04 Jan 2025

A leading automotive component manufacturer faced a significant challenge in their pre-drilling operations. Using standard CNC Lathe machine for pre boring the company struggled with long machining times, high tooling costs, and limited productivity. Each part required drilling a 50 mm diameter hole to a depth of 110 mm, which took 120 seconds per part. With production volumes increasing, these inefficiencies were becoming bottlenecks in their workflow.

Challenges

1. Extended Cycle Times: The CNC lathe required 120 seconds to complete one part for drilling operation, leading to delays in meeting production targets.
2. High operation Costs: Operational cost very high comparing if used HSS drils and could not supply at time.
3. Limited Scalability: The current setup couldn’t support growing demands without significant manpower and machine hours.

Solution: Introducing the Iyalia TwinDrill Pro 50

To address these challenges, the company adopted the Iyalia TwinDrill Pro 50 U Drilling Machine, a cutting-edge solution designed for high-speed, high-precision drilling.

Implementation

The TwinDrill Pro 50 was integrated into their production line, Reorganizing the drilling operation and giving the CNC Lathe machine double the life and time. Key features of the machine, such as dual-spindle technology and carbide insert U Drilling Tools, ensured faster material removal and greater efficiency.

Results

1. Cycle Time Reduction

   • The U Drilling machine reduced the cycle time from 120  seconds to 42 seconds per part, improving productivity by over 73%.

2. Increased Throughput

   • With faster cycle times, the manufacturer could produce double the parts within the same timeframe, meeting rising demand effortlessly.
   • increasing the CNC lather Lift Cycle by 50% assuming 50% of time is consumed by Drilling operation. 

3. Cost Savings

   • Tooling Costs: Replaceable carbide inserts minimized the need for frequent tool replacements, reducing costs by 30%.
   • Labor Costs: The faster operation required fewer man-hours, further optimizing operational expenses.

4. Enhanced Precision

   • The TwinDrill Pro 50 consistently delivered accurate drilling, reducing the number of rejected.

5. Improved ROI

   • The machine paid for itself within 6 months, thanks to the substantial cost and time savings.

Key Metrics Before and After

Conclusion

The adoption of the Iyalia TwinDrill Pro 50 transformed the manufacturer’s production line, delivering faster cycle times, reduced costs, and improved product quality. By switching to U Drilling technology, the company not only met its production goals but also positioned itself for future growth with a more efficient and scalable operation.
