Abstract:

The requirements needed to integrate a laser depainting system into the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center Depainting Facility were identified and evaluated to determine if the enabling technologies were available to reasonably expect a large robotic laser depainting system could be made and operated in a production environment. Robotic, Laser, Sensor, and Computer control systems were examined, tested, and evaluated.
