| Abstract: | A computer-controlled spray system is described that is used to control the application of thermal protection coatings to the Space Shuttle Exxternal Tank. The hardware and software requirements of the system as a manufacturing process are presented. The Spray Control System controls all turntables, elevators and spraying equipment used by the caoting process. Coatings are applied in a barber pole fashion, the turntable rotation, elevator vertical travel, and motions and functions of the spraying equipment being coordinated by the process control software. |
