Auto-Feed Drilling Machine ZB4116G ZB4120G ZB4132G ZB4132GP ZB5032B & ZB5032GP
This is a family of automatic feed drilling machines in four capacities: ZB4116G drills to 16mm, ZB4120G to 20mm and the ZB4132G, ZB4132GP, Z5032G and Z5032GP to 31.75mm.

What This Machine Does
This is a family of automatic feed drilling machines in four capacities: ZB4116G drills to 16mm, ZB4120G to 20mm and the ZB4132G, ZB4132GP, Z5032G and Z5032GP to 31.75mm. Automatic feed is the point of them. Where a hand-fed drill depends on the operator pushing at a steady rate, these machines feed the spindle at a set rate up to 110-113 mm/min, so the hole is drilled at a consistent rate whatever the operator is doing and the drill is less likely to grab as it breaks through. Each model also taps: M12 in cast iron and M10 in steel on the ZB4116G, up to M24 and M20 on the 31.75mm machines. Spindle travel is split between manual and automatic, 100/75mm on the smallest up to 150/105mm on the largest. The Z5032 builds stand taller, with 1235mm from spindle nose to base against 745mm on the ZB4132G, for tall workpieces.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Automatic spindle feed to 110-113 mm/min gives a consistent hole rate regardless of operator
- Four drilling capacities from 16mm to 31.75mm so the machine matches the hole size you drill most
- Tapping capacity from M12 in cast iron up to M24 so drilling and tapping happen at one station
- Manual and automatic spindle travel both available on every model for setup and production
- Z5032 builds give 1235mm spindle nose to base for tall workpieces
- Spindle speeds from 280 to 2730 r/min across the range cover large and small drills
- Net weights from 153kg to 310kg give the mass a drilling machine needs to stay still
Where Auto-Feed Drilling Machine ZB4116G ZB4120G ZB413 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Hand feed rate varies with the operator so hole quality and drill life vary too
- Drills grab and snatch at break-through when fed by hand
- Moving the part to a separate tapping machine loses the hole alignment
- A machine sized for the biggest hole is slow and wasteful for the smallest
- Tall workpieces will not fit under machines with limited spindle nose to base distance
- Light drilling machines move under load and the hole wanders
Who It Is For
- Fabrication shops drilling repeat hole patterns in plate and section
- Machine shops needing drilling and tapping at the same station
- Maintenance workshops working in cast iron and steel
- Training workshops teaching drilling practice
- Distributors supplying small and medium workshops
Application Scenarios
- Production drilling of repeat hole patterns at a consistent feed rate
- Drilling and then tapping the same hole without moving the part
- Through-hole drilling where break-out grab spoils the hole on hand feed
- Tall workpiece drilling on the Z5032 builds
- Small hole work at high speed on the ZB4116G at up to 2730 r/min
- Fabrication and maintenance drilling in cast iron and steel

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Bench Strong Drilling Machine Z4006G Z4116G Z4120G Z4132G Z5032G | The bench range is hand fed with the same capacities; this range adds automatic spindle feed for consistent production drilling |
|---|---|
| Hand-fed pillar drill | Hand feed varies between operators and grabs at break-through; automatic feed at a set rate does neither |
| Tapping Machine SWJ-10B SWJ-6 SWJ-12 SWJ-16 SWJ-24 | The SWJ machines are dedicated tappers; these drilling machines drill and tap at one station, which suits shops where both operations follow each other |
| Using a milling machine for hole work | A drilling machine ties up far less capital and floor space for holes that need no contouring |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Choose the model whose drilling and tapping capacity covers your largest hole and thread
Step 2
Clamp the workpiece to the table rather than holding it by hand
Step 3
Fit the drill in the MT2 or MT3 taper and check run-out
Step 4
Set the spindle speed for the drill diameter and material from the speed range
Step 5
Use manual travel to position and automatic feed for the cut
Step 6
Reduce feed near break-through in thin material and use cutting fluid in steel
Step 7
Keep the column and table clean so the head and table stay square to the spindle
