The Study of Design Method for Robotic Drill End Effector

The drill end effector is a key sub-system to flexible robotic drilling system, which performance will have an effect on drilling quality and efficiency. As a highly-integrated small electro-mechanical system, the design of drill end effector should be based on the robot and the process. The effect of the stiffness, the payload and the accuracy of the robot, the mounted configuration of the end effector, the technological process, and the orbital drilling technique were analyzed. And according to the analysis results, the design method of the drill end effector is established.
