    Productivity and efficiency are crucial in today's industries to satisfy the increasing demand for high-volume manufacturing, particularly in the sweep brush industry where brush blocks must have several holes for the insertion of bristles. Conventional single-spindle drilling machines are labor-intensive, sluggish, and frequently produce mistakes in hole depth and spacing, which lowers quality and raises production costs. The goal of this project, "Design & Fabrication of a Multi-Spindle Drilling Mechanism for Brush Manufacturing," is to create a system that can drill numerous holes at once with high precision and a shorter cycle time in order to address these difficulties. To guarantee strength, stability, and performance under load, a comprehensive 3D model of the machine was created using SolidWorks, and structural verification was done using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS. When compared to traditional drilling techniques, the prototype's increased efficiency, uniformity, and repeatability were confirmed by testing and fabrication. The devised mechanism enhances alignment precision, energy efficiency, and appropriateness for semi-automated or completely automated manufacturing, while also decreasing human error and reliance on specialized labor. All things considered, this effort offers the brush manufacturing sector a dependable and affordable option, illustrating how specialist equipment may improve mass production while guaranteeing constant product quality.
