Abstract:
1. A method for performing a dimensional inspection of a fabricated composite part ( 9 ) using a robotic workstation ( 11 ), the method comprising steps of: a) providing a number of points (Iij, Oij) to be inspected on inner and outer surfaces of the fabricated composite part ( b) obtaining positional data of said points (Iij, Oij) from the fabricated composite part ( c) using said first set of positional data (WIij, WOij) and a second set of positional data (TIij, TOij) of the same points (Iij, Oij) obtained from an analytical model of said composite part defining a theoretical geometry for calculating deviations (δij) between an actual geometry of the fabricated composite part ( wherein the step of calculating the deviations (δij) between the actual geometry and the theoretical geometry of the fabricated composite part (
