C10 Development of a Free Curved Plate Thickness Evaluation System Using a Robot : Verification of Principal of Measurement(Multi-axis control machining)

摘要

The study deals with an automatic measurement and evaluation system for thickness of free curved plates. In the study, a workpiece is handled by an industrial robot to measure thickness. A measurement path is automatically generated by the system without external data. The operator is just required to attach the workpiece to the robot and leave it for several minutes. Measured data is displayed according to the demand of operator -2D map display, 3D isometric display, etc. From the experimental result, the system found to be effective to get distribution of thickness with high density in a short time.
