Inventor: FIHEY JEAN-LUC
IPC: G05B19/42
Filed: 1989-11-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically sensing the configuration of a surface area of an object and effecting a work function thereof. A track is connected relative to the surface and a motor-actuated robot member is displaceable on the track by a motorized element coupled thereto. The robot member is provided with a working arm which is displaceably coupled thereto and has one or more working tools connectible therewith. A control circuit is associated with the robot member for displacing the robot member and operating the working arm and tool. A sensor is connected to the working arm and has a probe to sense a distance which is measured along a normal of the surface or any surface calculated by the control circuit and assumed to be representative of the surface in a delineated working environment of the robot member and working arm. The sensor feeds information data to the control circuit to determine damaged areas requiring work procedures to be effected by the one or more working tools. The tool trajectory is then automatically generated by the robotic system to achieve required tool positioning with respect to the surface.

Abstract: An x-ray collimator for collimating an x-ray beam is constructed of a rotatable mandrel with a series of longitudinal slots of varying widths. The width of the collimated beam may be controlled by rotating the mandrel so that the correct slot lines up with the uncollimated x-ray beam. The angle of the beam may also be corrected by smaller angular rotations of the mandrel to offset the exit aperture of the slot. The entrance aperture of each slot is larger than the exit aperture so that such centerline adjustments do not affect the x-ray fan beam width. A very low backlash brake holds the mandrel against perturbing torques when collimator is in position. The brake includes a friction element and a means of reducing the torque of the positioning motor to reduce the effect of such perturbing torques.
