摘要:
A system for certifying laser projection beam accuracy includes a certification fixture having a test pattern and a color background. The certification fixture is configured so that any portion of the laser projection beam reflected from the color background is reflected with a color contrasting to that of the laser beam or of the test pattern. Contrast can be further enhanced by making the pattern of a material that absorbs the laser beam color. Failure of the test is indicated by the presence of any of the laser beam light reflecting from the background. Passage of the test is indicated by the laser beam striking only the test pattern. A functional test pattern tests for both laser beam width and positioning accuracy. A method is provided to use a calibration test pattern to test laser beam width and length projection accuracy independently of one another.

A method is disclosed for aligning a laser projection device with a subject article. The method comprises the utilization of specially adapted mounts to secure reflective targets to specific geometric features of such a subject article. By mounting the laser target devices to the subject article itself, tooling jigs are not necessary and the targets can be easily positioned at various locations to avoid laser beam obstruction concerns and to ensure accurate alignment.

A system and methods for locating and drilling determinate assembly (DA) holes using a coordinate measuring device (CMD) are disclosed. A system includes a CMD having a probe tip, a guide element having a reference hole for receiving the probe tip, and a drill bushing having a drill bit guide hole for accurately drilling a DA hole at a target position. Methods for locating and drilling DA holes comprise steps of: calibrating a CMD; inserting a CMD probe into a reference hole of a guide element; positioning the CMD probe and guide element at a target position on a part; maintaining the guide element at the target position; removing the CMD probe from the guide element; inserting a drill bushing into the reference hole of the guide element; and drilling a DA hole in the part, utilizing a drill bit guide hole located in the drill bushing.

A system and method for remote rework imaging a part for an inconsistency is provided. The part is scanned with a nondestructive inspection device. An image of a part inconsistency is communicated from the nondestructive inspection device to a programmable device. The image of the part inconsistency is viewed with the programmable device. The image of the part inconsistency is edited with the programmable device using an input device in communication with the programmable device. The edited image is communicated from the programmable device to a visible light projector. The edited image is projected onto the part inconsistency using the visible light projector.
摘要:
The different advantageous embodiments may provide an apparatus comprising a vision system, a drilling tool, and a system controller. The vision system may be configured to generate data about a number of laser signatures on a surface of a workpiece. The drilling tool may be configured to drill a number of holes in the surface of the workpiece. The system controller may be configured to generate drilling instructions for the drilling tool using the data generated by the vision system.
摘要:
A method of replacing an existing part or parts on a structure such as an aircraft. The structure is inducted for modification. An existing part is removed and a new part is temporarily installed. Hole locations are digitally transferred to the new part, e.g., photographically captured in a three-dimensional coordinate measurement system, converted to targets printable in a laser projection system. Targets are laser projected or printed on the replacement part. Holes are drilled at each printed target. The holes drilled at printed targets match hole locations on the existing part. Then, the new/replacement part is permanently attached to the structure.
