According to the PSPC (Performance Standard for Protective coatings) rule, the edge preparation must keep 2R or 3-pass grinding. The stiffener plate edge grinding of the ship inside is manually progressed by worker and worked with just one pass grinding. In addition, the poor working condition cause grinding workers to avoid working in them, and the quality is determined by the skill-level of a worker. This research developed optimal tool for edge milling. In order to milling various collar plates edge, this research developed vision system that can recognize the edge points and it developed a program that operator can adjust the amount of cutting and speed, and add various features so that milling quality would be improved. So, this research focused on overcoming the difficulties in working condition and development of automated milling machine for ship stiffener plate.

The International Maritime Organization has enacted mandatory performance standards for protective coatings (PSPC), and as a result, shipyards must perform 2R or 3-pass milling on the edges of color plates. However, manual milling could result in many problems in terms of work environment and productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an edge milling automation system that can satisfy the regulations. In this study, a basic design for an edge milling automation system was developed for standard color plates, and the machining process was established by applying shape recognition and a machining path generation algorithm. In addition, operating software was developed, and suitable milling conditions were derived based on the results of a milling test. The results could be used to build an automation system that meets the PSPC requirements and improve productivity.
