MULTI COORDINATE REFERENCE SYSTEM FOR POSITIONING BLADED DRUM
First Claim
1. A method of measuring an assembled component comprising two or more parts, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the component with a plurality of unique markers for detection during a scanning process;
defining a first of said unique markers and aligning said first defined unique marker with a first element of the component;
defining a second of said unique markers and aligning said second defined unique marker with a second element of the component;
scanning the component and unique markers to capture a digitised version of the component and the relative positions of the first and second defined unique markers; and
,aligning a nominal CAD model of a part of the component with the equivalent part of the digitised version of the component using the relative positions of the first and second defined unique markers.

Abstract
A method provides for measuring an assembled component including two or more parts, the method including the steps of: providing the component with a plurality of unique markers for detection during a scanning process; defining a first of the unique markers and aligning the first defined unique marker with a first element of the component; defining a second of the unique markers and aligning the second defined unique marker with a second element of the component; scanning the component and unique markers to capture a digitised version of the component and the relative positions of the first and second defined unique markers; and aligning a nominal CAD model of a part of the component with the equivalent part of the digitised version of the component using the relative positions of the first and second defined unique markers.
