A New Flexible Track Automatic Drilling System

The Flexible track automatic drilling equipment is widely used in aircraft assembly because of the low cost, high efficiency and high quality of holes. This paper constructs a new flexible track drilling system for large-size aircraft assembly. The system structure is introduced, and the transformation algorithm between product/device coordinate system and axes position parameters is proposed. The experimental results show that the transformation algorithm has the merits of high computational efficiency and high stability, and can meet the requirement of precision drilling.
