A vibration-absorbing end effector of an automated drill and countersink machine having a shock to mitigate communications of vibrations to the drill tool, while simultaneously dampening the vibrations at their source, in order to increase control of a drill tool during drilling and countersinking operations. The end effector comprises a measurement scale to ensure that the depths of holes to be drilled and countersunk can be checked and corrected in accordance with corresponding ideal depths stored in a memory of the computer already interfaced to the end effector. Furthermore, the pressure foot of the end effector is upwardly rotatable to access the drill tool to the chuck. |
