Abstract

For determining a depth of drilling in objects a path over which a resistance is measured which is produced by an object to be processed counteracts a processing tool during its advance movement, and the measured path is used for determination of a depth of drilling in the object.

Claims (3)

1. A method for determining a depth of drilling in objects, comprising the steps of measuring a path over which a resistance produced by an object to be processed counteracts a processing tool during its advance movement, based at least on measurements of a resistance proportional signal and an axial speed proportional signal; using the measured path for determination of a depth of drilling in the object; and providing the visualization in form of a marking on the object to be processed by a process selected from the group consisting of printing and spray painting.

2. A method for determining a depth of drilling in objects, comprising the steps of measuring a path over which a resistance produced by an object to be processed counteracts a processing tool during its advance movement, based at least on measurements of a resistance proportional signal and an axial speed proportional signal; using the measured path for determination of a depth of drilling in the object; and processing the object to be processed in form of a material composite, in which the material composite is composed of a plurality of layers selected from the group consisting of metallic layers, non-metallic layers and layers including metallic and non-metallic materials.

3. A method for determining a depth of drilling in objects, comprising the steps of measuring a path over which a resistance produced by an object to be processed counteracts a processing tool during its advance movement, based at least on measurements of a resistance proportional signal and an axial speed proportional signal; using the measured path for determination of a depth of drilling in the object; and processing the object to be processed as a material composite composed of at least two carbon fiber plates which are fixed with one another by an adhesive material.
