Abstract: A repair system for in-situ repair of a machine. The repair system includes a laser unit configured to emit a laser beam, a galvanometer optically coupled to the laser unit and configured to adjust the laser beam received from the laser unit, a source of a flexible metallic mesh, a delivery unit configured to receive the flexible metallic mesh from the source of the flexible metallic mesh, and a controller communicably coupled to the laser unit, the galvanometer, and the delivery unit. The controller is configured to control the delivery unit to deposit the flexible metallic mesh on a surface of the machine. The controller is further configured to control the laser unit to emit the laser beam and to control the galvanometer to adjust the laser beam in order to weld the flexible metallic mesh to the surface of the machine, thereby forming a repair patch.

Abstract: A scanning fixture for use in moving a tool across a surface of an object is arranged to be attached to the object and comprises: a carriage arranged to have the tool connected thereto; and a frame arranged to be mounted on the object and to have the carriage mounted thereon. The frame comprises: a first mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a second mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a carriage support arranged to extend between the first and second mounts, across a surface of the object, and to have the carriage moveably connected thereto. The carriage support is a modular carriage support, comprising a plurality of modules rotatably mounted on an elongate member. The plurality of modules together form a path along which the carriage can move. The tool may be a probe for use in inspecting the object. The fixture may comprise one or more encoders arranged to generate position data for the carriage.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of an object relative to a component includes providing a frame. The method further includes coupling a plurality of encoders to the frame. The plurality of encoders is configured to generate a plurality of encoder signals. Each encoder signal from the plurality of encoder signals is representative of a location of the object relative to the respective encoder. The method further includes removably attaching the frame to the component. The method further includes receiving the plurality of encoder signals from the plurality of encoders. The method further includes determining a location of the object relative to the component based on the plurality of encoder signals.
