Abstract:

This paper presents the left headstock design of a three-side modular drilling machine that machines gearbox front shells. Modular machines rely on the headstock to power all axes.  The part's hole number, position, cutting settings, and spindle type determine its design. The motor on the back shell of the headstock powers the spindle primary motion, and the power slipway powers feed movement. The three-side modular drilling machine decreases drilling time, enhancing gearbox front shell production line productivity. Universal pieces make up the headstock, which is developed for specific needs.  This article details the left headstock design of this three-sided modular drilling machine.  Analysis of gearbox front shell process characteristics.  According to the process picture sheet, machining schematic sketch, and machine tool general chart, the original basis chart is drawn along the spindle structure, the transmission system is designed, the coordinates of all the arises are computed, and the coordinate checking drawing is drawn.  Finally, after building the entity model, general drawing and pa Finite element analysis of key headstock components are done and  after the study, design flaws are suggested.
