Software for the robot-operated inspection station for engine guide vanes taking into consideration the geometric variability of parts

U radu je prikazan proces projektiranja i izgradnje softvera za robotsku ispitnu stanicu koja se koristi za provjeru statora. Softver je razvijen za stanicu sa ABB IRB 140 robotskim manipulatorom i PC radnom stanicom koja upravlja s dva ultrazvučna senzora i pokreće LabVIEW softverski paket. Kontrolni algoritmi robota uključuju potencijalne razlike u geometrijskim značajkama pregledanih elemenata na ispitnoj stanici i nastalim razlikama u stazama kretanja manipulatora alata. Softver je dizajniran i isporučen Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów Sp. z o.o.
The paper presents a process of designing and building software for a robotic test stand used for inspection of stators. The software was developed for a test stand comprising the ABB IRB 140 robotic manipulator, and a PC workstation that handles two ultrasound sensors and runs the LabVIEW software suite. The control algorithms of the robot include the potential differences in the geometric features of the items inspected on the test stand and the resulting differences in the manipulator tool motion paths. The software was designed for and delivered to Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów Sp. z o.o.
