Abstract:
1. A system for producing a plurality of spaced holes in a component, the system comprising: a hole producing machine; a control system in communication with the hole producing machine; and a hole pattern definition module which provides instructions to the control system for operating and controlling the hole producing machine, the hole pattern definition module determining a desired hole pattern distribution of the holes in the component using predetermined input parameters; wherein the predetermined input parameters including: a count of the holes to be separated by spaces in the row of holes along a first axis; positional information of a first hole in the row of holes; a first length of the row of holes; and a first spacing ratio SR relating spacing distances between each adjacent hole within the row of holes; and wherein the hole pattern distribution of the holes being determined in accordance with the geometric relation where L
