Description
The details and methodology of an automatic path planning system for friction stir processing (FSP) of castings are presented, incorporating the means by which operator input is minimised, the limitations and challenges of the automatic programming system, and the real-time adaptive control system. Issues discussed include: FSP raster patterns in multirun processing; the development of FSP surface scanning and automatic path planning systems, taking into account the effects of inaccuracies in topographical data related to surface roughness, sensor shortcomings and electrical noise; and a robotic implementation of an automatic FSP system with surface scanning and sensing.
