An Aircraft Parts Field Measurement System Based on Industrial Robotics

Abstract:

According to the measurement problem of aircraft parts at maintain field, a measurement system based on industrial robot is proposed in this paper. An industry robot which carries an electronic lever indicator with communicating function to sample data, serves as main measurement actuator. The aircraft part is fixed on a revolving table, and the whole part can be measured on equivalent rotated place. Some key points, such as the kinematics model of the system, the calibration of the system and measuring approach are discussed. The experimental results demonstrate that the system is more flexible and more efficient and fit better in the maintain field with respect to traditional measurement methods.
