ZHANG Yunzhi, SUN Nianjun, LIU Jiandong, ZHAO Fulong, JIANG Qian . Robot Positioning System for Assembly of Thin-Walled Rotating Composite Components of Aero-Engine. Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology, 2020, 63(9): 42-49.
There are some important thin-walled rotary composite components in aero-engine
the manufacturing and assembly process of which include positioning
drilling-riveting
glue coating and other processes. The positioning efficiency and accuracy are related to the production capacity and assembly quality. In order to improve assembly quality and efficiency
the authors have developed a positioning system for the automatic assembly of the composite components which applies a 4-DOF manipulator based on RV transmission. It is proven to realize the automatic grasping and highprecision positioning of the composite components
as well as to solve the problem of low accuracy and efficiency of the manual posture alignment in the assembly of the composite components. This article could establish the foundation for further realizing the intelligent manufacturing of the aero-engine composite components.
