SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS APPLICATION OF A COATING TO A WORKPIECE

A method includes: accessing a coating thickness range for workpiece coating; triggering an optical sensor to capture scan data representing the workpiece; triggering a depth sensor to capture a first depth value; assembling the scan data into a first virtual model representing the workpiece; defini...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes: accessing a coating thickness range for workpiece coating; triggering an optical sensor to capture scan data representing the workpiece; triggering a depth sensor to capture a first depth value; assembling the scan data into a first virtual model representing the workpiece; defining first spray parameters corresponding to a minimum coating thickness; defining a first toolpath; driving a coating applicator along the first toolpath to spray the coating onto the workpiece; triggering the depth sensor to capture a second depth value; calculating a first coating thickness based on the first depth value and the second depth value; in response to the first coating thickness falling below the target minimum coating thickness defining a second set of spray parameters and a second toolpath; and driving the coating applicator along the second toolpath to spray the coating onto the workpiece according to the second set of spray parameters.
