Abstract

This paper presents a method for robot-assisted geometrical inspection of an aircraft engine turbine stator segment employing the ABB IRB 1600 robot, equipped with the Atos Core 3D scanner and interfaced with the Atos Professional software suite. The geometrical inspection is a preliminary geometrical verification of a thin-wall casting against a CAD-generated nominal model. If the casting geometry tolerances are met, characteristic coordinates of points across the casting are determined for their further adaptation during an alternative robot-assisted vane wall thickness measurement, which is done with the ABB IRB 140 robot and by employing the UTT method.
