Abstract
A method for assisting with the positioning of a drill bit for boring a component, which includes capturing images of a first component which has notable points, of calculating a digital representation from these images, of superposing the digital representation thus calculated and a digital design representation of the component, of evaluating the distances of the centers of bores to be created with respect to the notable points, and of positioning a drill bit with the aid of a camera and of the evaluated distances. The method continues in the same way for the other components to be assembled.
Claims4
A method for assisting with the positioning of a drill bit for boring a component, carried out with a machine tool having a control unit, a drill head bearing the drill bit and at least one optical sensor secured to the drill head, wherein said method comprises:
- for a first component,
- capturing in a first capturing step, during which said or each optical sensor captures at least one image of the first component including a face to be drilled on which at least two notable points are identified,
- digitizing in a first digitization step, during which the control unit calculates a digital representation of the first component from the or each image thus captured,
- superimposing in a first superposition step, during which the control unit digitally superposes the digital representation thus calculated and a digital design representation of the first component including centers of bores to be created,
- evaluating in a first evaluation step, during which the control unit evaluates a distance of each center from a plurality of notable points on the face of the first component, and
- positioning in a first positioning step, during which, based on the images of the face of the first component transmitted live by the or each optical sensor and of the distances thus evaluated, the control unit orders the drill head to move until it is vertically in line with the center of each bore to be created in the first component and orders the drilling of the first component by the drill bit.
