Abstract

In one embodiment, systems and methods include using an inspection and projection system to measure the thickness of a coating and provide visual guidance for secondary operations. The inspection and projection system comprises a robotic arm operable to rotate about a plurality of axes, wherein an end effector is disposed at a distal end of the robotic arm. The inspection and projection system further comprises a linear rail system, wherein the robotic arm is coupled to the linear rail system, and wherein the robotic arm is operable to translate along the linear rail system. The inspection and projection system further comprises a frame, wherein the linear rail system is disposed on top of the frame, and an information handling system coupled to the frame, wherein the information handling system is operable to actuate the robotic arm and the linear rail system.
