This paper aims to investigate orbital drilling process in carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites with multi-point orbital drilling tool based on the robot automatic drilling system. One orthogonal experiment has been carried out, and the cutting forces of different parameters were measured online by dynamometer. Furthermore, the cutting force model was established through regression analysis, and the impacts of cutting parameters on thrust force were deeply analyzed. In addition, delamination and tear defects were inspected respectively, and the relationship between thrust force and delamination and tear was discussed. Our results indicate that thrust force increased with the increasing feed rate and axial feed depth, while decreased with the increasing spindle speed. Axial feed depth was found as the predominant factor on thrust force and defects. At last, the cutting parameters was optimized and then thrust force decreased more than 26% with almost none tear and burr around the hole, which indicates a better machine quality.

Machining Properties

Drilling carbon fiber reinforced plastics and titanium (CFRP/Ti) stacks is one of the most important activities in aircraft assembly. It is favorable to use different drilling parameters for each layer due to their dissimilar machining properties. However, large aircraft parts with changing profiles lead to variation of thickness along the profiles, which makes it challenging to adapt the cutting parameters for different materials being drilled. This paper proposes a force sensorless method based on cutting force observer for monitoring the thrust force and identifying the drilling material during the drilling process. The cutting force observer, which is the combination of an adaptive disturbance observer and friction force model, is used to estimate the thrust force. An in-process algorithm is developed to monitor the variation of the thrust force for detecting the stack interface between the CFRP and titanium materials. Robotic orbital drilling experiments have been conducted on CFRP/Ti stacks. The estimate error of the cutting force observer was less than 13%, and the stack interface was detected in 0.25 s (or 0.05 mm) before or after the tool transited it. The results show that the proposed method can successfully detect the CFRP/Ti stack interface for the cutting parameters adaptation.

Supported holes of Printed circuit board (PCB) are drilled with two different drill bits. Drilling force (thrust force and torque) and chip morphology are examined at different cutting parameters, and the effects of the two drills are discussed. The results indicate that the drilling force and chip morphology are affected by the feed rate, spindle speed and drill shape. Thrust force increases with the increasing feed rate, and decreases with the increasing spindle speed. Optimization of drill geometry can reduce the thrust force significantly, and is effective in chip breaking which can improve the chip evacuation during the drilling process.

Drilling Process

Drilling is an important machining process in various manufacturing industries. High-quality holes are possible with the proper selection of tools and cutting parameters. This study investigates the effect of spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameter on the generated thrust force, the formation of chips, post-machining tool condition, and hole quality. The hole surface defects and the top and bottom edge conditions were also investigated using scan electron microscopy. The drilling tests were carried out on AA2024-T3 alloy under a dry drilling environment using 6 and 10 mm uncoated carbide tools. Analysis of Variance was employed to further evaluate the influence of the input parameters on the analysed outputs. The results show that the thrust force was highly influenced by feed rate and drill size. The high spindle speed resulted in higher surface roughness, while the increase in the feed rate produced more burrs around the edges of the holes. Additionally, the burrs formed at the exit side of holes were larger than those formed at the entry side. The high drill size resulted in greater chip thickness and an increased built-up edge on the cutting tools.

TiBw / TC4 composite material was used as the machining object of Ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling (UVAD), the single directional three-degree-of-freedom dynamical system model was established. The dynamic signal test and analysis system was used for modal experiment to identify the parameters in the model. Under the condition of dry cutting, the drilling axial force and tool vibration in the drilling process are studied. The results showed that the maximum values of the predicted and measured axial drilling force were 412.5N and 439.6N respectively, and the error rate was 6.165%, which verified the reliability of the predicted axial drilling force model. For cutting tools, the average amplitudes of simulated vibration and measured vibration were 0.1124mm and 0.1151mm respectively, with a difference of 2.402%, and the overall trends were the same, which verifies the reliability of the dynamical model. Finally, the stability of drilling process was analyzed, and the frequency and amplitude of ultrasonic vibration were analyzed. The results show that in order to expand the unconditional stability region, it is more efficient to increase the amplitude than to increase the frequency.

This study investigates the thrust force (Fz) and torque (Mz) in a drilling process of an Al7075 workpiece using solid carbide tools (Kennametal KC7325), depending on the effects of crucial cutting parameters such as cutting velocity, feed rate and tool diameter of 10mm, 12mm and 14mm. Artificial neural networks (ANN) methodology is used in order to acquire mathematical models for both the thrust force (Fz) and torque (Mz) related to the drilling process. The ANN results showed that the best prediction topology of the network for the thrust force was the one with five neurons in the hidden layer, while for the case of Mz the best network topology for the prediction of the experimental values was the one with six neurons in the hidden layer. Based on the results acquired, the ANN models achieved accuracy of 1,96% and 1,95% for both the thrust force and torque measured, while the R coefficient for the prediction model of the thrust force is 0.99976 and 00.99981 for the torque. As a result they can be considered as very accurate and appropriate for their prediction.

The periodic drilling force effect on the dynamic instability of a drill in a drilling process was investigated. This investigation involves the cutting geometry drilling force from the two active parts of a twist drill subjected to small fluctuations during the drilling process. Theoretically, at some drilling force, this small drilling force fluctuation may lead the system into a dynamically unstable condition. Most hole location errors, reaming, and drill fractures occur in this unstable drilling process phase. The dynamic instability in a drilling process is an important issue in increasing the drilling quality and production rate. In this article, a pretwisted beam with a moving Winkler-type elastic foundation is used to simulate the drill and drilling process. Numerical analysis indicates that the unstable regions are enlarged and shifted to a lower frequency suddenly as the drill bites into a workpiece. It is also observed that the thrust force, spinning speed, and pretwisted angle effects drastically change the dynamic instability of drilling.

Abstract As the most promising CFRP hole making method, orbital drilling is widely concerned. This paper aims to understand the influence of the cutting parameters, tool diameters and ratio between milling and drilling (Rm&d) on thrust force, cutting temperature, tool wear and machining quality in CFRP orbital drilling. The effects of cutting parameters on thrust force and cutting temperature were studied by orthogonal experiments, and experiments were performed to investigate the variations of tool diameters, ratio between drilling and milling on thrust force, cutting temperature, tool wear and machining quality. The experimental results show that the tangential feed rate has no apparent effects on thrust force, but it appreciably impacts on the cutting temperature. The selection of tool diameter and the Rm&d has specific influence on tool wear, machining quality and cutting temperature. The result is helpful for selecting cutting parameters and tool diameters for high quality holes machining in CFRP orbital drilling.

Hole Making

Friction drilling is a nontraditional hole-making process. A rotating conical tool is applied to penetrate a hole and create a bushing in a single step without generating chips. Friction drilling relies on the heat generated from the frictional force between the tool and sheet metal workpiece to soften, penetrate, and deform the work-material into a bushing shape. The mechanical and thermal aspects of friction drilling are studied in this research. Under the constant tool feed rate, the experimentally measured thrust force and torque were analyzed. An infrared camera is applied to measure the temperature of the tool and workpiece. Two models are developed for friction drilling. One is the thermal finite element model to predict the distance of tool travel before the workpiece reaches the 250°C threshold temperature that is detectable by an infrared camera. Another is a force model to predict the thrust force and torque in friction drilling based on the measured temperature, material properties, and estimated area of contact. The results of this study are used to identify research needs and build the foundation for future friction drilling process optimization.

Drilling composite materials is one of the primary processes of manufacturing industrial structures. The ultimate goal towards on-line monitoring of composites drilling is in order to produce damage free high quality drilled holes. In the present investigation, the acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied for monitoring the drilling-induced delamination. Delamination is major damage mechanisms in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates correlated with the thrust force during drilling process. By feature extraction of AE time domain, root mean square (RMS) is selected as the best parameter to monitor thrust force variations. The experimental results show that AE is very sensitive to the response of the drilling conditions.
