A Framework for Industry 4.0 Implementation in Aerospace Assembly

Assessment of ISO Standardisation to Identify an Industrial Robot's Base Frame

“…To establish the potential impact on the estimation of the RBF by considering different measuring points, an initial experiment was undertaken using a method to achieve the RBF and TCP based on a combination of the approaches used in the preceding literature [38]. This supports Objective 2.…”

“…This central position is the location of the origin of the RBF based on this experimental approach. Previous research [38],…”

“…The methods in the literature never repeat their process, and previous research has shown the effects of repeating a method for constructing the RBF origin point, mean that the origin point varied [38]. This research will address a significant gap in the literature by focusing on how the factors used in the construction of the RBF affect its repeatability under test.…”

“…This has resulted in the use of various methods across the reviewed literature, with little or no justification behind the individualized processes used and therefore no standardisation for the process. Research [38] has indicated that implementing such methods does not produce a repeatable RBF, and therefore the effects of how these methods are implemented must be studied. In this research, the RBF was constructed by capturing positions attained by the robot, aligning the robot's axes, and constructing the RBF origin point.…”

“…A critical review of the requirements for RBF construction within the above standards is provided in Section 2. Section 3 presents the outcome of previous research [38], quantifying how much the measured points used to construct the RBF affected its repeatability. Section 4 details the Design of Experiments (DOE) approach method which was used to investigate what factors affect the creation of the RBF using metrology software, based on the method used in the previous research.…”
