Publication number: 20090320820Abstract: A gemstone drill is of the drill press type which includes a motor suspended and slidably affixed between upstanding vertical telescoping rods. A drill bit is affixed to a spindle which is a direct extension of the motor shaft which is in parallel alignment with the rods. A body of the motor includes a cylindrical spindle housing extending downwardly from the bottom of the motor body adjacent the drill bit. The rods are extensible from tower sleeves mounted directly to a base which has a top support surface enclosed by a transparent containment cover. The door is moveable between open and closed positions to gain access to a clamping mechanism releasably attached to the support surface that holds the stone to be drilled. The containment cover, when closed, includes a circular aperture at the top which closely receives the spindle housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventor: John J.

Publication number: 20090234490Abstract: A smart tool holder is for use with a machine tool platform. The smart tool holder includes a body having a first end and an opposite second end, a processor disposed with the body, and a transceiver disposed with the body and in communication with the processor. The transceiver is structured to communicate with an external receiving device. The first end of the body is structured to be coupled to the machine tool platform and the opposite second end is structured to be selectively coupled to a cutting assembly having a number of sensors. The processor is structured to communicate with the number of sensors when the cutting assembly is coupled to the body. The processor may perform data analysis tasks using model based data analysis, digital filtering, and other techniques. The smart tool holder may suggest changes to the machining process based on two-way communication with a machine tool controller through a receiver or interface device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2009Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventors: Christopher A. Suprock, Jeff Nichols, Robert Jerard, Barry Fussell

Publication number: 20090060666Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for drilling counter sink fastener holes in composite materials with conductive foil lightning strike protection systems. Initially a non-destructive depth detector is scanned over a prospective fastener hole location. Then the depth of a conductive foil below a surface is detected. When the detected depth is less than a predetermined depth, a signal that indicates that a countersink fastener hole may be drilled is output. When the detected depth is greater than a predetermined depth, a signal that indicates that a countersink fastener hole may not be drilled is output.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Gary E.
