Custom solution
Review a custom drilling and tapping layout for metal parts with features on several faces. BINSING combines vertical and horizontal machining-head arrangements with part-specific workholding. Send a marked drawing to define tool access, operation order and the included machining scope.
Define your configuration
A multi-face machine review starts with the finished features and the supplied blank. The rows below define the information needed for a proposal; they do not assign a fixed number of heads or promise that every face can be completed in one clamping.
| Function | Scope to review | Confirm for your part |
|---|---|---|
| Identify faces and features | Assign each drilled hole, thread and prepared feature to a named face. | Drawing feature IDs, approach directions, dimensions and depth references |
| Establish location and support | Choose a workholding concept around surfaces available on the incoming part. | Datums, allowed contact areas, protected surfaces and blank variation |
| Review tool access | Assess the head, tool and holder through approach, cutting and withdrawal. | Ribs, recesses, clamps, neighboring tools and space beyond through-holes |
| Plan the operation order | Separate features that can be grouped from those needing an earlier operation or repositioning. | Drill-before-tap requirements, intersecting holes and any part transfers |
| Define completed-part checks | Connect each finished feature and cross-face relationship to its inspection basis. | Included operations, outside finishing or cleaning, and measurement responsibility |

Multi-side describes machining directions. Multi-spindle describes a tool arrangement, while controlled axes describe machine motion. A vertical-and-horizontal head layout is not, by itself, a five-axis CNC machine or a guarantee of simultaneous machining.
Review which tools can reach the part while the proposed clamps are in place. If the part must be relocated, identify the reference transfer and the feature relationships that need verification after the complete route.
Show where holes meet, which surfaces are already finished and how chips or burrs can be accessed. Internal finishing, flushing and leak testing need explicit scope; creating the openings alone does not confirm those results.
For only two opposite drilling faces, compare the horizontal double-head platform. For successive operations around a table, review rotary indexing. Use the same feature list and loading boundary when comparing candidates.
Equipment examples
These real equipment references illustrate different layouts. Specifications and performance are confirmed for the proposed configuration and workpiece.
Custom equipment reference
Machining heads approach the clamped part from different directions.
Custom equipment reference
An indexed layout combines machining from several directions.
Machine operation
Use these equipment examples to review the layout and operation. Tooling, workholding and the machining sequence must be agreed for your part.
Combine vertical and horizontal machining heads for parts with holes or threads on multiple faces. Confirm access, clamping and the operation sequence before selecting a layout.

A multi-side drilling and tapping machine price depends on the machining directions, heads and tooling, workholding, part movement, controls and handling functions. Request a face-by-face scope naming the included operations and any manual relocation. Identify outside deburring, cleaning and inspection work so quotations cover the same finished-part requirement.
Before ordering
That can be reviewed as a project objective. The proposed tools, holders, supports and clamps must reach the required features without interference. Ask the layout to identify any reorientation or separate operation before confirming one-clamping coverage.
The agreed sequence determines which actions overlap. Tool access, shared space and feature dependencies can require separate steps. Request an operation map instead of deriving output from the number of heads.
Only where those functions are expressly included. Show internal intersections and the finished cleanliness, edge and test requirements. The proposal should identify what is performed in the machine and what remains a separate process.
