Automated Robotic LAUE Instrument
FY 2021-22 · 2021-05-03
Summary
This project is about the integration of a robot with a Laue instrument to handle and place jet engine turbine blades for the measurement of single crystal orientation using the Laue x-ray diffraction technique. The integration of a robot will enable a higher throughput while eliminating full time operators who are prone to shoulder injuries from the repetitive movement and human errors. With increased demand for testing, higher accuracy and improved quality control up to 100%, this instrument will help reduce the testing cycle and the overall cost per component. This integration goes hand in hand with the aerospace demand for increased safety, cost reduction, and extended service life of components to avoid catastrophic failures.

Description (French)
Ce projet porte sur l'intégration d'un robot avec un instrument Laue pour manipuler et placer des aubes de turbine de moteur à réaction pour la mesure de l'orientation des monocristaux à l'aide de la technique de diffraction à rayons X Laue. L'intégration d'un robot permettra d'augmenter la capacité de production tout en éliminant les opérateurs à plein temps, qui sont sujets à des blessures à l'épaule dues aux mouvements répétitifs et aux erreurs humaines. Compte tenu de l'augmentation de la demande d'essais, de la précision accrue et de l'amélioration du contrôle de la qualité jusqu'à 100 %, cet instrument contribuera à réduire le cycle d'essais et le coût global par composante. Cette intégration va de pair avec la demande de l'aérospatiale pour une sécurité accrue, une réduction des coûts et une durée de vie prolongée des composantes afin d'éviter les défaillances catastrophiques.
