Research abstract
The proposal describes a solution offered by SARA, Inc. in response to the problem of scanning and characterizing a large number of holes drilled by a laser on jet engine components and other aerospace or industrial parts requiring laser drilling of large number of small holes. The proposal addresses the development of a automated optical system that will scan, collect, analyze and disposition data, detect and compensate offsets and generate difference signals, and feedback the information back to the laser drilling workstation to bring the drilling process back into control in real time.
