A wheel hub special drilling device comprises a main shaft transmission device, which has a transmission mechanism base and a transmission mechanism mounted on the transmission mechanism base, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises an X-axis transmission mechanism, a Y-axis transmission mechanism and a Z-axis transmission mechanism which are used for respectively moving a main shaft in three vertical axial directions; a main shaft, which is mounted on the vertical Z-axis transmission mechanism; a drilling tool, which is mounted on the main shaft and is rotationally driven by the main shaft; a clamp device, which is used for clamping and fixing a wheel hub to be processed.

A machining system configured to reduce spring back following machining operations comprising a machining tool and a spring back control system. The spring back control system comprises a number of force generators and a number of force loaded members coupled to the number of force generators, each force loaded member of the number of force loaded members comprising a material contact surface.

A system and method is disclosed for performing matched drilling operations on mating first and second workpieces. A microscopic camera is mounted on a movable spindle holding a tool. A micro-adjustment mechanism on the spindle controllable moves the tool. A template is provided that is mounted to the first workpiece and to the second workpiece. A controller receives images of the template from the microscopic camera at each of the predetermined positions on the first workpiece and identifies microscopic features on the template associated with each of the predetermined positions on the first workpiece. The controller compares microscopic features within received images of the template at each of the predetermined positions on the second workpiece associated with microscopic features of a corresponding image of the first workpiece to calculate a necessary offset adjustment that is applied to the micro-adjustment mechanism before each operation on the second workpiece.

The disclosure relates to a machining station for machining platelike workpieces (1) by means of at least one tool (10, 13, 14). The machining station has a measuring device (16) for acquiring data relating to the position of bores, a drill (10, 13, 14) for generating bores in the workpiece (1), and a data processor (17) for processing data of the at least one measuring device (16) and/or for controlling the at least one drill (10, 13, 14). The data processor (17) is here suitable and set up for performing an adjustment between a desired drilling position and/or a desired bore depth and an actual position and/or actual depth as determined by the at least one measuring device (16) for a bore present in the workpiece (1), and adapting the drilling position and/or bore depth for generating bores by means of the at least one drill (10, 13, 14).
