Automated Manufacturing Using Modular Structures and Real Time Feedback For High Precision Control

摘要

An apparatus includes a rigid frame or girder system, a first computer controlled motion system associated with the rigid frame or girder system and configured to move in coordinated positions, a second computer controlled motion system associated with a part to be worked on and configured to move in coordinated positions, and a plurality of sensors associated with the first motion system and the second motion system. The first computer controlled motion system and the second computer controlled motion system use information from the plurality of sensors to assist in coordination between the first computer controlled motion system and the second computer controlled motion system.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a rigid frame or girder system; a first computer controlled motion system associated with the rigid frame or girder system and configured to move in coordinated positions; a second computer controlled motion system associated with a part to be worked on and configured to move in coordinated positions; a plurality of sensors associated with the first motion system and the second motion system; at least one controller operatively connected to the first computer controlled motion system and the second computer controlled motion system and configured to use information from the plurality of sensors to assist in coordination between the first computer controlled motion system and the second computer controlled motion system such that the information from the sensors is used to locate each of the computer controlled motion systems in real-time and if the computer controlled motion systems have moved out of place, the computer controlled motion systems adjust themselves back into position.
