The robotic test stations of the considered design, operated at industrial plants, must first perform the processes and tasks they have been intended for as required by manufacturing cost reduction. It is important that these processes are completed at minimum power consumption. The paper...

This paper presents a robotic test stand for the ultrasonic transmission tomography (UTT) inspection of stator vane thickness. The article presents the method of the test stand design in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013 software suite. The performance of the designed test stand solution was simulated in the RobotStudio software suite. The operating principle of the test stand measurement system is presented with a specific focus on the measurement strategy. The results of actual wall thickness measurements performed on stator vanes are presented.

The work presents a robotic system for grinding the blades of a turboprop engine compressor. The proprietary conceptual solution includes a data acquisition system based on a robotic 3D scanner, a neural decision system and a robot performing a grind...
