Abstract:
1. A system for developing a gold body database for a particular non-destructive inspection method, said system comprising: means for teaching within a robotic envelope a robot, which is used in said particular non-destructive inspection method, at least two edges defining a boundary of a reference airplane; means for teaching said robot at least two edges defining a boundary of a component or a sub-component of said reference airplane in space within a robotic envelope, such that during a subsequent inspection of a plurality of candidate airplanes of said particular model for presence of defects, a corresponding component or sub-component in each of plurality of said candidate airplanes is automatically located in space using said robot; and means for teaching a scan plan for said component or said sub-component located in space for each non-destructive inspection system subsequently implemented to detect defects in each of plurality of said candidate airplanes.
