On-Machine Measurements for Aircraft Gearbox Machining Process Assisted by Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

Abstract

This paper deals with the development of dimensional control technology for the production of accessory drive train (ADT) gearbox housing, according to the closed door technology approach. The work presents the methodology of the final inspection of bearing seat position deviation by replacing the coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) with a computerized numerical control (CNC) machine and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The results of the work indicated that correct solutions were obtained. In addition, the technological process of manufacturing is fully automated and performed entirely on the production line.
