Research on Three-Dimensional Scanning Path Planning of Casing Parts Based on Industrial Robot
Abstract
According to the requirements for the rapid scanning and measurement of the geometric shape during the process of chemical milling of an aviation engine casing, the scanning path of the casing is planned and studied. This paper introduces the principle and method of the tracking scanner and automatic measuring system and analyzes the scanning area range, approach distance, and wide angle of the field. The casing process is modeled by applying part of the machine, obtaining a series of scanning path point and synthesizing the scanning trajectory. On this basis, the entire scanning process is divided into two alternating actions: scanning measurement and posture adjustment, and the mathematical model of the annular scanning path on the outer surface of the casing part is obtained. Adjusting the scan height was used to solve the repeated scan area problem, and the results show that the adjustment method effectively shortened the scan path’s length and time. The simulation method verifies the planned finite ring-scanning path, which verifies the correctness and feasibility of the mathematical model. Through the automatic scanning reconstruction process test, the reconstruction rate of the ring scanning trajectory reaches 85%, which is 80% higher than the manual detection efficiency.
