The invention relates to a method for automatically detecting the profile contour of a
thermal protection component, and solves the problems that the manual detection efficiency is low and a
thermal protection coating on the surface of a
projectile body is easily damaged at present. An automatic turntable for placing the
thermal protection component is designed, a measuring head mounted on a calibration mechanical arm is used for automatically scanning and shooting the appearance profile of a product, an automatic detection path of the profile of the thermal protection component is determined by adjusting the angle of the turntable and the
pose of the mechanical arm, and the scanning
pose of the mechanical arm is solidified by
programming; subsequent thermal protection components of the same type do not need to be calibrated again,
product profile detection is completed according to the calibration path and procedure,
data analysis, a production
distribution diagram and a measurement report are automatically conducted according to the model, and
rapid detection of the profile tolerance, the gap and the order difference of the product is achieved. A manual measurement mode is replaced, the product only needs to be subjected to point pasting once for
programming, subsequent products do not need to be subjected to point pasting, damage to the appearance of the thermal protection product and manual measurement errors are reduced, the labor and
time cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
