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.

인장이음은 고장력 볼트의 체결력과 모재 그리고 고장력 볼트의 내력을 직접적으로 활용하고, 볼트구멍의 가공수나 체결개소의 감소, 피로저항성 등에 있어 유리하며 때문에 역학적으로 매우 효율적인 연결이다. 이러한 인장이음은 교량의 거더와 가로보의 이음, 주탑의 수평이음, 보-기둥 연결부, 바닥판 단부 2차부재 연결부, 브라켓 등에 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인장이음의 역학적 거동을 파악하기 위해서 T-인장이음에 대한 정적실험을 수행하였다. 시험변수는 고장력 볼트의 직경, 플렌지 두께 및 체결력 감소이며, 인장이음의 파괴양상과 내력, 플랜지 두께와 고장력 볼트의 직경의 영향, 체결력의 영향에 대해 분석하였다.
