Abstract
A system configured to automatically straighten a drill bit to within acceptable specifications is described herein. The drill bit straightening system described herein may include a drill bit holding assembly configured to hold a drill bit, one or more sensors configured to measure edge eccentricity of a shaft associated with the drill bit, a control unit configured to automatically control a straightening operation of the drill bit straightening system, and a drill bit pressing arm configured to straighten the drill bit by applying a force calculated based on one or more predictive models. The control unit may be configured to calculate force(s) to be applied to the drill bit using one or more predictive models.
