Precision Hole Making on Laminates Composite: Comparison between Drilling and Punching

Abstract:

Accurate and strong fastener assembly depends on precision of the hole. For structural material likes composites, these criteria is very important. Drilling is the most common method in producing hole on composites. But the main problem of drilling is excessive tool wear that may affect the quality of the holes. Punching is another alternative in making a hole. The main objective of this study is to compare between drilling and punching in terms of hole quality. The scanned images of the produced hole will be captured using commercial 3D optical surface measurement method namely Alicona IFM. The effect to the quality of the produced hole will be measured and compared between drilling and punching.
