Application: Dynamic indexing for moving parts in a fabrication environment (Patent ID: US20240201656A1)
The patent filed by The Boeing Co. describes an apparatus for indexing a layup mandrel for a composite part. The apparatus includes a lamination head with a roller, suspension, position sensor, and dispenser for fiber-reinforced material. A controller uses measured deflections of the roller to index the lamination head with respect to the layup mandrel. The controller acquires a stream of 3D coordinates to determine the alignment of the layup mandrel and alters the NC program for directing layup based on this alignment difference.
Additionally, the patent includes claims for a lamination machine with features such as a track for transporting the layup mandrel, a frame for positioning the lamination head, and the ability to alter the NC program in real-time to accommodate the thickness of fiber-reinforced material already placed on the mandrel. The apparatus also includes an indexing head for a rigid tool and an indexing head for an arcuate tool, both equipped with position sensors to measure 3D coordinates and controllers to adjust the indexing based on deviations from a nominal path. These inventions aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of composite part fabrication processes.
