“Enter a length and process your part… It’s just that simple!” That’s what some people say. Truth is, processing multiple hole drilling and/or tapping processes along with saw cut operations and the like can be extremely challenging to a manufacturing facility.
AutoDrill stands ready to help you solve your most complex processes with the help of our seasoned and highly professional machine builders.
Whether you are drilling and tapping holes on a rotary table in a multi-drill format or simply pushing 2×4’s down the line while pre-drilling them for an assembly process, we can help you design the perfect system for your needs.
One of AutoDrill’s owners is fond of saying that, “…many people need to commute to work every day. Not many people need a school bus or a tank to do so.”
AutoDrill offers you solutions based on your actual needs and in line with your budget.

Imagine a world where every part comes out the same because of a reliable, automated process! With a linear measuring system and an AutoDrill, this is not just a possibility but a reality for many of our customers. One vendor we work with says, “Employees can be trained in a matter of minutes and be top performers by the end of the day.” We’ve seen it happen!
All AutoDrill products are built with features and durability that metal working shops and plants have come to expect from their equipment. We expect the same from our machine builders and only refer you to top quality, highly reliable vendors.
Does this mean that our machines are only good for metal applications? Not at all! In fact, they’ll work anywhere you need a tough and durable machine to perform your drilling, tapping, reaming or other hole processing job. Whether it is multiple holes in a single stroke or a single hole multiple times down the length and circumference of a filter pipe, we can help do it quickly and reliably!
How About Tables?
We have a number of vendors who we work with to provide you just the right table. Whether it is a roller table for moving parts down line quickly or a large Blanchard ground top table with a coolant trough around it for collection of chips and lubricant… We can help!

How About Mounting?
AutoDrill’s selffeeder units are built with you in mind. The housings is similar to a simple air cylinder and mounts with a series of four tapped holes and a few optional dowel pins for alignment perfection! No more struggling with round body drills and alignment issues. If you can tighten a bolt, you can likely mount an AutoDrill with no problems at all.

How About Multiple Piece Processing for Efficiency?
AutoDrill has provided devices to customers for processing multiple parts at a time many, many times. Often, they will have a small part and simple line them up on a table. down comes the AutoDrill with a multi-drill head and all the holes are performed in a single stroke! Can this method of multiplying the solution solve your bottleneck?

How About Moving Tubes, Channel or Other Hard to Grip Parts?
No problem! Our machine builders are experts in solving these challenges! We have witnessed our AutoDrill units being mounted to drill 48″ round pipe, 18″ tall steel rectangular tubing, flat plates of steel over 6 feet wide and the strangest looking extrusions you’ve ever seen. Sometimes the application requires that the part be moved and sometimes it’s easier to move the AutoDrill! Depending on your space requirements and constraints, the desire to meet a certain cycle time or any other limitation you can probably come up with, we can help solve it!

How About Durability?
We are smart enough to know that sometimes the down time during a machine failure costs more than the machine. That is why we build our machines to be tough!
How about the heart of our selffeeder machines? The quill starts out as a solid piece of high quality steel. It is machined to the strictest of tolerances in the industry and then precision ground to fit perfectly in the cylinder tube of our machine. It is hard chrome plated for the longest possible life span. No cheap aluminum quill parts here!
How about the additional components? Well… AutoDrill took a gamble when they launched their self stroking drills. Everyone else on the market seemed to be building machines with integral valves and switches or sensors. AutoDrill decided to build the drill first and then determine how the accessories would work reliably. Because we offer half a dozen different switch and sensor options for end of stroke, proof of return and even mid or short-stroke sensing, we can often meet needs others can’t. Because our valves and controls are external, they can be mounted anywhere on your fixture that you choose to shield them from debris, possible damage from moving parts or equipment or even just to conveniently exhaust the air into a quiet box. Many components can be replaced in minutes without dis-assembly of the AutoDrill unit itself. More importantly, this means that your fixture does not need to be taken apart when a simple valve or switch is damaged somehow. We call it a “componentized” machine because all of the components are easily accessed. We took it so far as to make sure you can replace the bearings without removing much more than a belt or pulley in most cases. Down time is NOT your friend and we do all we can to keep him out of your shop!
