Abstract

Automated spray painting is an important process in the manufacturing of many products. In order to ensure computational efficiency, a new tool trajectory optimization scheme based on T-Bézier curve is developed. And a T-Bézier basis is presented in trajectory optimization problem. The tool trajectory is formed through offsetting the distance between spray gun and the free-form surface along the normal vectors. Automotive body parts, which are free-form surfaces, are used to test the scheme. The results of experiments have shown that the trajectory planning algorithm achieves satisfactory performance. This algorithm can also be extended to other applications.
