Path Planning of the Robot for Aero-Engine Turbine Blades Maintenance

In connection with the model of the turbine blade to be maintained, the path planning technology for the welding robot is researched. By using Solidworks, the model of the turbine blade is layered and dispersed. According to the analysis of the main function of welding robot’s offline programming system, path planning and torch pose planning are designed for blades maintenance. According to the characteristics of simulation data, the result shows this program is valuable for turbine blades maintenance based on welding robot.
