Efficiency Estimation of Energy Introduction of a Ultrasound Field Into the Zone of Drilling of Complex Packages From Composite Materials and Titanium

Abstract

The possibility of improving the quality of holes in complex packages made of composite materials and titanium alloys in the drilling operation by using the energy of ultrasonic vibrations introduced into the treatment zone is considered. The construction of complex packages and the problems arising from their processing with an axial tool are described. The rational design of the experimental setup for testing the technology of ultrasonic drilling of small-diameter holes was chosen. The unit is based on the KUKA KR 16 R2100 robotic complex. In addition to the industrial robot, it contains a spindle attached to the robot; Ultrasonic head, dynamometer and table, on which the package made of composite materials and titanium alloys is fixed. Ultrasonic oscillations with a frequency of 22 kHz can be transmitted, depending on the execution of the installation, either to the spindle or to the table with a complex package. The device allows carrying out experiments with the imposition of unmodulated, amplitude-modulated or frequency-modulated ultrasonic vibrations on the drill or on the object table with a package of composite materials.
