The formed surface quality of metallic sealing ring of aero-engine affects the aircraft service performance directly. However, existing inspection methods, such as the final destructive inspection and the line laser scanner section profile measurement, only evaluate the formed quality from a 2-D view, that is, single or multiple radial formed section profiles. The lack of geometric information of 3-D surface is not conducive to the comprehensive monitoring of forming quality and process planning. Therefore, based on the line laser scanners, this paper mainly proposes a vibration errors compensation method based on self-feature registration. Aiming at the problem of rigid transformation of the measurement profile caused by random vibration during the rotary motion of metallic sealing ring, the feature of measurement profile in stationary scene (MPSS), that is, the medial axis, is used as the reference for the correct pose of measurement profile. The principle of finding the correct pose of measurement profile in rotary motion scene (MPRMS) is to minimize the distance between the medial axes. Next, based on the rotary motion information of metallic sealing ring and the geometric information of measurement system, a 3-D reconstruction matrix is built, so as to convert each measurement profile to the base coordinate system in turn, and finally a 3-D dynamic measurement method for the metallic sealing ring forming surface is built. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation experiment and real measurement.
