【 摘 要 】

An efficient automatic aircraft manufacturing system needs to be developed to respond to the rapid development of civil aviation in China. Whole aircraft painting is the last process of manufacture. Painting quality is an important guarantee for flight safety and longevity. Manual painting has difficulties meeting the quality and efficiency requirements. In this study, the stop planning of teleplatform is investigated for automated aircraft coating with industrial robots (IRs). First, the automatic painting system composed of a teleplatform and an IR is introduced. Next, the high-quality workspace for IR is established, with focus on the requirement of terminal precision. Next, the aircraft surface is considered to be composed of flat, cylindrical, and conical surfaces for simplicity. Painting work units are proposed. Finally, the stop planning of teleplatform for advanced regional jet for the 21st century is accomplished. The developed stop planning method is convenient and practical and could be applied further to the automatic painting of other aircrafts and rockets.
