Abstract

The present invention discloses a flexible rail drilling machine that employs a pair of rails that are flexible in one direction to accommodate non-flat workpiece surfaces and are substantially rigid in a direction parallel to the workpiece surface of. The rails are attached to the workpiece by vacuum cup holders spaced along each rail. The X-axis bracket is slidably mounted on the track through rollers mounted on a flexible spring plate fixed to the bracket. A drill or other device to be positioned is mounted on a Y-axis carriage that is slidably connected to an X-axis carriage. The three-dimensional workpiece surface is mathematically transformed into a two-dimensional flat pattern, and the positioning of the carriage is controlled based on the flat pattern.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a machine for drilling holes or performing other processing operations on large workpieces, such as panels or similar components constructed in simple or combined contours, such as the wings and fuselage parts of airplanes. The present invention more specifically relates to a flexible rail machine and method, which locates a drilling machine, an imprinting machine or the like with respect to the workpiece by reciprocating a processing module along a rail mounted on the workpiece and positioned on the workpiece Processing module. Background technique [0002] The problem of precision drilling on large workpieces such as aircraft wings and fuselage panels or other types of structures has always been a challenge for the aircraft industry and other industries, and therefore, so far has not provided a completely satisfactory, It is a solution suitable for a wide range of workpiece structures. Large fixed pile machines such as fiv...
