ABSTRACT:
Automated drilling apparatus. This invention relates generally to an automated drilling apparatus, with its control system and other operating components uniquely integrated within an external housing, while operating via low pressure air sources or other fluid power sources commonly found in industrial settings, and methods for its use. The automated drilling apparatus could be adaptable to a wide range of hand-held or machine mounted automated drilling and machining operations because its unique integrated technology provides for a programmable lightweight small machine tool which will be effective in industrial settings. A prototype automated drilling apparatus has been effectively evaluated with test results proving the invention effective for industrial use. The automated drilling apparatus includes the following integrated components: an external housing, an internal drill piston housing, a rotatable drive means, a chuck assembly, an engagement mechanism, an alignment shroud, and a programmable control means.
