Abstract
Method for machining an aircraft structural component using a machining system, the machining system having a drilling unit and a riveting unit, a manufacturing process controller for actuating the components of the machining system, an optical sensor and a projection unit. The method comprising the steps of: projecting a pattern by the projection unit onto a machining point with a rivet element inserted into a drill hole of the machining point, detecting the machining point including the projection of the pattern by the sensor and generating corresponding detection data by the sensor, evaluating the detection data by an evaluation unit, adapting the tool control data for a drill hole to be drilled subsequently according to the manufacturing specification at a further machining point, in particular the countersink depth of the drill hole to be drilled, by the manufacturing process controller on the basis of the evaluation of the detection data.
