Ratchev (Ed.), Precision Assembly in the Digital Age: 8th IFIP WG 5.5 International Precision Assembly Seminar, IPAS 2018, Chamonix, France, January 14—16, 2018, Revised Selected Papers (92-100). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_9

Fastener painting of aerospace structures, in particular legacy products , relies heavily on the skill or rather craftsmanship of the human operator. This process is time-consuming while automated operations with industrial robots can be a more effic... Read More about A Low-Cost Automated Fastener Painting Method Based on Machine Vision.

Measurement assisted assembly for high accuracy aerospace manufacturing (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Drouot, A., Zhao, R., Irving, L., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Measurement assisted assembly for high accuracy aerospace manufacturing.

Measurement Assisted Assembly is a key concept for the modernisation of aerospace assembly processes, i.e. improving their efficiency while reducing the manufacturing costs. This concept suggests a paradigm shift in the assembly of high-complexity pr... Read More about Measurement assisted assembly for high accuracy aerospace manufacturing.
