碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 機械設計工程系碩士班 === 104 === Improper feeding force of drilling and/or instance of stopping the drill could be important considerations for surgeons because the over-drilled tip may cause significant damages to tissues, including the brain or nerves. Most surgeons rely on their experiences to fine-tune the feeding force and control the speed of the drill. This research proposes and implements a force-feedback drilling system, assuming that an electric drill is applied in this study, that automatically reduces the feeding force and/or stopping the drill by measuring the reactive normal force on the drill tip. We compose a LabVIEW software control system to realize the realtime force-feedback control algorithm and verify the actual feeding force in consistence of the desired one.
