Abstract
In this paper, an intelligent assembly system for a welding process of aero engine components is presented. In contrast to present approaches, the proposed assembly unit is able to automatically align and clamp different rotary components. Furthermore, an optimised orientation of the parts for the adjacent welding process is realised, taking the geometric information of each part into consideration. An optical measurement system is used to orientate the individual components to each other. The controller of the alignment system is implemented by using LabVIEW as a graphical software solution.
