The Design and Technology Bureau of IrNITU presented a sample of an electric drilling machine with automatic feed to the Irkutsk Aviation Plant (IAP). Engineers designed and created a working prototype of the tool, intended for drilling holes up to 12 mm in diameter.
The tool is designed for drilling multi-layer aircraft parts (composite-steel-titanium-aluminum) and allows you to set individual processing modes for each layer.
Engineers developed the mechanical part of the device, installed control systems, automation, and coolant supply. The tool will be refined to meet the needs of the aircraft factory.
The machine is planned to be used when стыковке the MC-21 fuselage and attaching the wing to the center section. In the future, the project involves the creation of protective cases and software.
