Blades & Lazers

ME450 Capstone Design and Manufacturing Experience: Winter 2008A given turbine blade is inspected using a high precision laser while mounted on a turntable. When a defect is detected, material is removed using a robotic grinder. The blade must be held at the base, as to not occlude the laser or grinder. The location and orientation of the blade in the fixture must be repeatable to a very high level of precision. The fixture must also be easy and quick to load and unload.Engineering Research Center on Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systemshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58668/1/me450w08project33_report.pd
