Summary:This paper describes a design and simulation device for the aircraft drilling end-effector based on bionics which is mainly for robotic drilling on the aircraft surface and inner structures. The whole system is composed of six modules which are controlled by master-slave architecture. Automation studio programming software provides a programming pattern to control hardware system. Experiments show that the ADEE can greatly enhance the quality and precision of drilling holes comparing with manual drilling. We use Matlab and simulink to simulate the process of drilling and test the drilling results with non-PID drilling system (UPDS) and PID drilling system (PDS). Experiments demonstrate that the drilling results of PDS are obvious better than UPDS. At last, we apply pulsed thermography to investigate drilling defects.
