Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. developed a system to automate the plasma flame spray process which is one of the aircraft maintenance processes. The system has been running since October 1992. The authors have achieved system development of the process computer which controls the whole system. What this system especially requires is thickness repeatability and 1-mil-order thickness accuracy of coating for many engine parts. This system has fulfilled these requirements by using short-range repeated robotic motions and self-learning functions to obtain the most proper condition statistically after each process. It also has realized to automate the flame spray process of many kinds of parts by a database which consists of various actual values.
