CNC Friction Drilling Machine for Sports Fitness Equipment

CNC Friction Drilling Machine in Sports Equipment Manufacturing DNC-3030DDTT

Features:
This model is a CNC multi-axis driling and tapping machine with dual driling shaft and dual tapping shaft.
The Z-axis completes the single aperture of two products or the two apertures of one product at one time, and the efficiency is doubled.
Semi-closed structure, convenient for emplovees to load and unload materials during non-stop circular processing.
Large stroke can clamp muliple products at the same time, set up muliple zero points to achieve let and right double station or muli-station processing.

Industry Pain Points in Fitness Equipment Manufacturing
In the competitive world of fitness equipment manufacturing, precision and durability are critical. However, traditional hole-making methods such as tapping, welding, or punching often lead to several challenges:

Tube Wall Damage: Thin-walled tubes commonly used in gym equipment are prone to deformation or cracks when drilled conventionally.
Welding Weak Points: Welded nuts and inserts can loosen or corrode over time, leading to safety concerns.
Low Efficiency: Manual or multi-step drilling processes are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Inconsistent Quality: Mechanical wear and operator variability result in irregular hole finishes or off-position threads.

These problems not only increase production costs and lead times but also pose serious risks to the structural integrity of products, affecting brand reputation and end-user safety.

The Solution: CNC Friction Drilling Machine by DUOMI CNC
Our friction drilling machine is a CNC-based, high-speed thermal drilling solution designed specifically for processing holes in metal tubing, including stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel—ideal for fitness equipment frames.

How It Works:
CNC Friction drilling uses a rotating, heat-generating conical tool to form holes by displacing material, not removing it. This creates clean, burr-free holes with an extended sleeve, providing extra thread depth and strength without needing weld nuts or rivets.

Key Advantages for the Fitness Equipment Industry
✅ No Welding, No Nuts, No Cracks
– Forms a robust sleeve from the base metal itself, eliminating the need for secondary fastening parts.

✅ Stronger Thread Engagement
– Ensures threads are formed in extended collars, perfect for handling the dynamic loads of gym machines.

✅ Perfect for Thin-Walled Tubes
– Drills 1.0–4.0 mm wall thickness without distortion or deformation.

✅ Increased Production Efficiency
– Fully automated CNC control, multi-head spindle optional, supports batch production with consistent quality.

✅ Clean, Eco-Friendly Process
– No cutting fluid required, no chip waste, minimal maintenance.

✅ One-Step Process
– Drill and form in one pass; thread forming can follow immediately without pre-drilling.

Industry Applications
Our friction drilling machines are widely used in:
Gym equipment frames (e.g., squat racks, benches, cable machines)
Fitness accessories (e.g., bike frames, pedal arms, seat posts)
Strength and cardio machines
Home and commercial gym products
