QIN Zhaojun, ZHENG Lianyu, ZHANG Hongbo, XU Jiaxing. Development of Smart Assembly and Monitoring System for Reconfigurable Flexible Tooling. Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology, 2018, 61(17): 72-79.
To solve the problems of reconfigurable flexible tooling in the complexity of the assembly process and the volatility in the using process
a smart assembly and monitoring system which services in the phase of installation and using was developed. In aspect of assembly
building the assembly process based on smart glasses combined with multi-operator cooperation mode achieved the mobile controlling of the laser tracker. In aspect of tooling monitoring
retaining the traditional monitoring method combined with smart glasses
in addition installing laser displacement sensors on the critical location guaranteed the stability of the tooling. Besides that
the system has been conducted in the assembly plant
which demonstrates that this system can improve reconfigurable flexible tooling assembly efficiency and reduce the difficulty
and can guarantee the stability of the tooling in the using stage.
