In-process detection of drill wear is one of the most important technoligies for automatic, unmaned machining systems. In this study, an on-line drill wear estimation model based on spindle/Z-axis motor currents generated during the drilling process is proposed. The theoretical model is obtained by integrating the drilling process model and the servomechanism model. The drilling process model describes the relationship of drill wear and drilling torque/ thrust force, whereas the servomechanism model describes the relationship of drilling torque/ thrust force applied to motor and spindle/Z-axis motor current. Evaluation tests have shown that the proposed model is a good real-time estimator for drill wear.

Drilling process is one of the most common, yet complex operations among manufacturing processes. The performance of a drill is largely dependent upon drilling forces, Many researches focused on the effects of drill parameters on drilling forces. In this paper, an effective theoretical model to predict thrust and torque in drilling is presented. Also, with the predicted forces, the stress analysis of the drill tool is performed by the finite element method. The model uses the oblique cutting model for the cutting lips and the orthogonal cutting model for the chisel edge. Thrust and torque are calculated analytically without resorting to any drilling experiment, only by tool geometry, cutting conditions and material properties. The stress analysis is performed by the commercial FEM program ANSYS. The geometric modeling and the mesh generation of a twist drill are performed automatically. From the study, the effects of the variation of the geometric features of the drill and of the cutting conditions of the drilling on the drilling forces and the stress distributions in the tool are calculated analytically, which can be applicable for designing optimal drill geometry and for improving the drilling process.

Robotic Drilling Systems(RDSs) set the standard for the factory automation systems in aerospace manufacturing. With the benefits of cost effective drilling and predictive maintenance, RDSs can provide greater flexibility in the manufacturing process. The system can be easily adopted to manage very complex and time-consuming processes, such as automated fastening hole drilling processes of large aircraft sections, where it would be difficult accomplished by workers following teaching or conventional guided methods. However, in order to build an RDS based on a CAD model, the precise calibration of the Tool Center Point(TCP) must be performed in order to define the relationships between the fastening-hole target and the End Effector(EEF). Based on the kinematics principle, the robot manipulator requires a new method to correct the 3D errors between the CAD model of the reference coordinate system and the actual measurements. The system can be called as a successful system if following conditions can be met; a. seamless integration of the industrial robot controller and the IO Level communication, b. performing pre-defined drilling procedures automatically. This study focuses on implementing a new technology called iGPS into the fastening-hole-drilling process, which is a critical process in aircraft manufacturing. The proposed system exhibits better than 100-micron 3D accuracy under the predefined working space. Based on the proposed EEF fastening-hole machining process, the corresponding processes and programs are developed, and its feasibility is studied.

The thermal analysis method containing micro drilling characteristic is proposed for the first time. There are such problems in thermal analysis of micro hole drilling as the thermal modeling complexity of drilling process and the undesirable micro drilling characteristic. Especially, the undesirable micro drilling characteristic prevents our using conventional thermal modeling. To model the thermal behavior of the micro drilling process, the finite different method, where heat source vectors are distributed by the measured rhrust and torque, is proposed. This method agrees with thermal behavior of the real system. And, it enable to predict the temperature field near the drill during. The validity of this method is verified in comparing with experimental results.

In drilling of composite laminates, it is important to minimize of reduce occurrences of delaminations. In particular, a peel -up delamination at entrance and push-up delamination at exit are common. Deleaminations may by avoided by regulating the drill thrust force can be controlled by adjusting the feedrate of the drill. Dynamics involved in drilling of composite laminates is time varying and nonlinear. In this paper, a fuzzy logic model and control strategy are proposed. Simulation results show that the fuzzy model can describe the nonlinear time-varying process well. The fuzzy controller realizes a fast rise time and a little overshoot of drilling force.

The torque variation in drilling process represents the problems of the efficient and stable machining. In order to cope with them, the active control method is adopted to drill the workpiece under the constant cutting torque though the cutting stiffness of the workpiece or the diameter of the drill bit changes. The cutting process is modeled in the geometric viewpoint related with the feed and the number of cutting lips. And the dynamic model is approximated to the first order system for the purpose of control. The adaptive PI control is used in computer simulations and experiments. The results of the study show the validity of the drilling method with torque control.

Borehole instability during drilling process occurs frequently when drilling through shale formation. When a borehole is drilled in shale formation, the low permeability leads to an undrained loading condition. The pore pressure in the compressed area near the borehole may be higher than the initial pore pressure. However, the excess pore pressure caused by stress concentration was not considered in traditional borehole stability models. In this study, the calculation model of excess pore pressure induced by drilling was obtained with the introduction of Henkel's excess pore pressure theory. Combined with Mohr-Coulumb strength criterion, the calculation model of collapse pressure of shale in undrained condition is obtained. Furthermore, the variation of excess pore pressure and effective stress on the borehole wall is analyzed, and the influence of Skempton's pore pressure parameter on collapse pressure is also analyzed. The excess pore pressure decreases with the increasing of drilling fluid density; the excess pore pressure and collapse pressure both increase with the increasing of Skempton's pore pressure parameter. The study results provide a reference for determining drilling fluid density when drilling in shale formation.

The present experimental investigation focuses on finding optimal parametric data-set of laser micro-drilling operation with minimum taper and Heat-affected zone during laser micro-drilling of Carbon Nanotube/Epoxy-based composite materials. Experiments have been conducted as per Box-Behnken design (BBD) techniques considering cutting speed, lamp current, pulse frequency and air pressure as input process parameters. Then, the relationship between control parameters and output responses is developed using second-order nonlinear regression models. The analysis of variance test has also been performed to check the adequacy of the developed mathematical model. Using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and an Accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) technique, optimum process parameters are evaluated and compared. Moreover, confirmation tests are conducted with the optimal parameter settings obtained from RSM and APSO and improvement in performance parameter is noticed in each case. The optimal process parameter setting obtained from predictive RSM based APSO techniques are speed=150 (m/s), current=22 (amp), pulse frequency (3 kHz), Air pressure (1 kg/cm²) for Taper and speed=150 (m/s), current=22 (amp), pulse frequency (3 kHz), air pressure (3 kg/cm²) for HAZ. From the confirmatory experimental result, it is observed that the APSO metaheuristic algorithm performs efficiently for optimizing the responses during laser micro-drilling process of nanocomposites both in individual and multi-objective optimization.

A mechanistic model is developed to predict the thrust force and cutting torque of drilling process including wear. A mechanistic oblique cutting force model is used to develop the drilling force model. The cutting lips are divided into small elements and elemental forces are calculated by multiplying the specific cutting pressure with the elemental chip area. The specific cutting pressure is a function of chip thickness, cutting velocity, rake angle and wear. The total forces are then computed by summing the elemental forces. Measured cutting forces are in good agreement with the simulated cutting forces.
