AN AUTOMATIC THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS MEASURING MACHINE IN R.A.E. WORKSHOPS.
Abstract
The introduction of numerical control into the Inspection of Aircraft Models by the development of a special measuring machine. A description is given of its construction, the system for controlling precise movements, the method of output information and the method of operation. The considerable reduction in the time for measuring the contour of a model on a predetermined grid pattern is recorded in the form of examples. Improvements subsequently incorporated in the machine together with suggestions for further development are recorded. (Author)
