Industrial Technology Modernization. Phase 2

Abstract

This is a semiautomatic vision system to inspect part dimensions, combined with robotic gauging of threaded holes. The project is complete but never implemented due to a lack of F-16 business. This report presents program efforts of Phase II of the Industrial Technology Modernization (ITM) program sponsored by General Dynamics. Phase II is dedicated to demonstration of enabling technologies for the factory modernization projects. This project deals with the design of a work cell to automatically inspect mechanical components as a receiving inspection operation. Specific functions of this work cell were dimensional inspection, thread gaging, and material handling.
