Indirect measurement technology of locating points based on correction

To solve the locating points'offset problem in the off-line program process of the automatic drilling and riveting system, the indirect measurement method of the locating points based on correction was proposed. Firstly, the locating points were obtained by Agent technology. And a visual interactive definition platform was set up to define the locating points interactively. Secondly, the AUTOMATION interface was applied to correct the locating points and a template document was used to manage the global offset of the locating points. Then, the final locating points were determined by linear programming. Finally, an example of sheet metal parts was presented to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed method.
