ACMAN--COORDINATE-BASED ACCURACY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SHIP BLOCK ASSEMBLY

A new system developed in Finland for accuracy control in ship block assembly is described. The system, known as ACMAN, consists of software that utilizes a relational database model and runs on a PC workstation, and a new optical coordinate measuring device known as the ACMETER. It is in experimental use at a Finnish shipyard and has demonstrated numerous advantages to its use.
