Robotic Drilling

Automate Drilling to Improve Hole Quality and Extend Tool Life

Manual drilling is slow, inconsistent, and tough to scale. Robots equipped with PushCorp’s force compliance devices and servo spindles turn a standard robot into a precision robotic drilling machine capable of straight, repeatable holes across a range of materials.

Automated drilling delivers consistent hole quality, longer tool life, and a faster, more reliable alternative to manual drill presses.

What Makes Robotic Drilling Different?

Robotic drilling replaces the rigidity of position-based drilling with intelligent force control. Traditional robots move from point A to point B without sensing the pressure applied, making it difficult to achieve consistent holes as bits wear or material hardness varies.

Force-based drilling solves this problem. PushCorp’s force compliance devices monitor and maintain steady pressure, while servo spindles provide constant torque and speed. This combination ensures straight, accurate holes and prevents issues like bit breakage or surface deformation.

With a drilling robot, manufacturers can achieve the precision of a CNC drill press—fully automated and flexible enough for a variety of materials and part geometries.

Robotic Tooling for Drilling Automation

Robotic Servo Spindles

PushCorp’s servo spindles provide the power and precision needed for robotic drilling applications. Their closed-loop torque control maintains consistent RPM under varying loads to ensure clean, straight holes.

  • Constant speed and torque control
  • Ideal for drilling metals and composites
  • 100% duty cycle for continuous production
