[0002] At present, automatic hole-making systems are increasingly widely used in various fields of aviation. However, due to the weak rigidity characteristics of the surfaces of some hole-making objects, the product deforms when the tool tip contacts the product surface during the hole-making process, resulting in a deviation between the actual counterbore depth and the theoretical counterbore depth. This phenomenon affects the hole-making quality. At the same time, a large number of tests need to be carried out before using the equipment to explore parameters, wasting funds and time, and the resulting parameter results may not necessarily be completely applicable to the product.
