摘要： This invention is particularly concerned with the manufacture of car bodies - particularly what is called the ''Body-in-white'' (BIW), the as - welded body without the doors, engine, transmission, etc., and major sub-assemblies thereof. While particularly oriented to this problem, the invention is also usable for assembly of other ''3-D'' structures, such as planes, ships, trucks, buildings, telephones, and the like. Some applications even exist in space, for manned and unmanned operation. The manufacture of car bodies is a complex process, and the tooling required to make the various component pieces and assemble them into a dimensionally correct, aesthetic shape consumes a great deal of money and time. Current trends in the industry are to ever shorten the time involved and to lower cost. This invention assists this goal. An important and preferred element of the invention is the use of optically visible datums (in UV, visible, and IR wavelengths) on a tool or on the part which are either functional (that is used for assembly or other purposes, such as a hole) or simply for the purpose of optically guided positioning, either manually or automatically. These datums, typically holes, painted, engraved, or retroreflective targets, either by themselves, or in combination with other features of the part such as surfaces or edges, are observed by optical sensor/camera systems in and/or surrounding the work area. One or more positioning means either automatic, semi-auto, or manual, are guided by the signals from the cameras to cause the requisite portion of a tool, or the parts themselves to be positioned in the proper location.
摘要翻译：本发明特别涉及汽车车体的制造，特别是所谓的“白车身”（BIW），没有车门，发动机，变速器等的焊接体，其组件。虽然特别针对这个问题，但是本发明也可用于组装其他“3-D”结构，例如平面，船舶，卡车，建筑物，电话等。一些应用甚至存在于空间中，用于载人和无人操作。汽车车身的制造是一个复杂的过程，制造各种零件并将其组装成尺寸正确，美观的工具需要大量的金钱和时间。当前行业趋势是缩短所涉及的时间并降低成本。本发明有助于实现这一目标。本发明的一个重要且优选的元件是使用光学可见的基准（在UV，可见和IR波长）在工具上或在功能上（用于组装或其他目的，例如孔）或简单地用于光学定位的目的，手动或自动。这些基准面，通常是孔，被雕刻的，雕刻的或回射的目标，或者与部件的其他特征（例如表面或边缘）组合，或者通过光学传感器/照相机系统在工作区域内和/或周围工作区域被观察到。自动，半自动或手动的一个或多个定位装置由来自相机的信号引导，以使工具的必需部分或部件本身定位在适当的位置。

摘要： The invention is addressed to the assembly of automobiles and aircraft done with reconfigurable modular and "intelligent" tooling fixtures. Much of the capability of the system is brought by optical or other non-contact sensing means (900, 901) incorporated with the tools to provide information on part location, tooling detail location, and automation which is used in the performance of the work. A preferred version of the invention uses 3-dimensional stereo and/or other electro-optical ranging and feature location sensors (900, 901) to perform measurements of the location of critical features of assembly tools and parts including detecting abnormal features such as missing holes or welds. The computer system (80) associated with the sensors (900, 901) generates a database of part conditions before, during and after a working or assembly function. The database is used to continuously improve the process and feed data to related processes.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及用可重构模块化和“智能”工具固定装置完成的汽车和飞行器的组装。该系统的许多功能是通过与工具结合的光学或其他非接触式感测装置（900,901）来实现的，以提供用于工作的零件位置，工具细节位置和自动化的信息。本发明的优选版本使用三维立体声和/或其他电光测距和特征位置传感器（900,901）来执行组装工具和部件的关键特征的位置的测量，包括检测诸如缺少孔的异常特征或焊缝。与传感器（900,901）相关联的计算机系统（80）在工作或组装功能之前，期间和之后产生部分条件的数据库。数据库用于持续改进流程并将数据提供给相关流程。

摘要： "Reconfigurable Tactile Control Displays" are provided which are particularly suited for applications such as automobile instrument panels where large displays and controls are desirable to provide a wide range of information, with minimal driver distraction and the safe input of data to vehicle subsystems or for communication based activities. Preferred embodiments utilize rear projection displays with electro-optically sensed physical controls and touch commands and offer, at low cost, a maximum of reconfigurability to different car lines, drivers, and tasks. Also disclosed are novel implementations for other applications such as control of appliances, heating and other household functions which may share common control and display presentation with those used in the vehicle.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for "intelligent" control (410) of production processes such as machining, casting, heat treating and welding. The key enabler of such control is of an electro-optical (25, 95, 305, 405) or other suitable sensor type. The sensor is generally of non contact type, capable of rapidly and accurately acquiring data from parts and the tools used to produce the parts in a production "in-process" environment. Systems are disclosed to control not only the instant operation, but those processes connected therewith, both upstream and downstream. Data bases are generated and knowledge bases are used. Application of the invention can improve quality and productivity, and allow the production of parts which have unusual or individual material characteristics (1000-1008).

摘要： The invention primarily concerns improvements to NC lathes and associated processes using the same. An NC turret lathe (11), known in the art, is equipped with sensors (25) located in the turret (20) as herein described. These sensors are equipped to measure the diameter or equivalent radius of the part, the length, the surface finish, and to determine forces of cutting. The invention includes the set of any or all of these sensors, and in combination, to improve machining, quality of the workpiece, as well as increased up time, and machining performance. Further illustrated are sensor and machine calibration and sensor display, and detail on a tool sensing embodiment.
