    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for determining if generation of inconsistencies in fiber placement are related to automatic cutter operations used for cutting tows in a device for automatically placing tows of a composite material on a form. SOLUTION: The operations of the tow cutters 34 in an automatic fiber placement machine 20 are monitored to determine if consistencies in the fiber placement are related to the cutter operations. A machine vision system 39 detects inconsistencies in tow placement, and timing signals for representing the actuation of the cutters are generated. The timing signals are correlated with recorded images of the placed tows 22 to determine if the inconsistencies in the tow placement are related to the cutter operations.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved system for identifying defects in a complex structure, by providing a light source so that defects, such as dark defects at a dark background and/or bright defects at a bright background, can be identified by capturing an image at an illuminated part in the complex structure.
    SOLUTION: The improved system for identifying defects in the complex structure can include a reflection surface, a dispersive element, and a plurality of and/or movable light sources and/or a camera for capturing the most accurate image for processing even at a curved region or a region having an external form, or at any region of the complex structure. As a result, by the system, an operator can rapidly identify or correct structural marks for affecting the integrity of the complex structure, or defects for causing unconformity.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for identifying a defect, a foreign matter and debris (FOD), when manufacturing composite structure.
    SOLUTION: This system includes at least one light source positioned to emit light beams for illuminating one portion of the composite structure by bright field illumination, and for illuminating another portion of the composite structure by dark field illumination. The bright field illumination is reflected by the defect in the composite structure differently from a nondefective portion out of the composite structure. The dark field illumination is reflected by the FOD in the composite structure differently from a surface having no FOD out of the composite structure. The system includes also at least one camera for receiving images of the illuminated portions of the composite structure. The images received by the camera are processed by a processor, and then the processor outputs a response for identifying the defect, the foreign matter and the debris, based on the images.
