Buckeye Fixtured Drills

The Buckeye Fixtured Drill is a ruggedly constructed self-feed drilling machine made of cast iron and steel.  The modular construction of fixtured drilling equipment permits the users to select the components for successful precision drilling of virtually every material.  In order to precisely match the self-feed drill to its application, you choose from a variety of design options including the following:  chuck size, horsepower, length of the stroke, and RPM. 

The rugged construction of Buckeye Fixtured Drills enables them to withstand heavy punishment while providing extra versatility, including the feature of both foot and nose mountings.  Self-feed drills can also be mounted within optional aircraft type nosepieces.  Buckeye self-feed drills cycle automatically and include a ”fast forward” feed-control device called a “dash pot.” 

The operation of the Buckeye self-feed drill is as follows.  The fixtured drill is started by pushing a manual start button or by the tool receiving a “start” air signal.  The fixtured drill motor starts as soon as the forward motion occurs, and it shuts off as soon as the return motion is completed. 

When started, the pneumatic fixtured drill fast forwards to the work, after which it slows to the preset drilling feed rate.  When the drill reaches the end of the stroke an internal signal causes the drill to retract and the self-feed drill is turned off. 

Aircheck Feed Control is accomplished on a fixture drill by controlling the flow of air from the exhaust side of the feed piston and is sufficiently accurate for many of the easy-to-drill applications.  When more accurate control of the feed rate is required on harder-to-drill materials, or when hole finish or breakthrough control is critical, use a Hydraulic Feed Control Fixtured Drill.

The Auxiliary Signal should be considered when a pneumatic signal is required to indicate that the tool has moved to the required position.  The signal can be used to actuate related equipment, such as starting another drill or tapper, or performing an unclamp operation.
