Abstract
A method of sequentially performing a plurality of jointing operations includes positioning an automated device to form a mechanical joint into a workpiece and forming a mechanical joint into the workpiece. Once the mechanical joint is formed, the workpiece is scanned to generate data indicating the surface geometry of the workpiece at a location including the mechanical joint. One or more geometric features of the surface geometry are identified, and if the identified geometric features are within respective predetermined specification thresholds, the automated device is repositioned to form a subsequent mechanical joint into the workpiece.
