System and method for repairing a housing for a gearbox

A method for repairing a housing for a gearbox, the method comprising:

• controlling at least one repair tool to repair a first housing body at a first hole of the first housing body;
• identifying a first actual position of the first hole after controlling the at least one repair tool to repair the first housing body at the first hole;
• identifying a compensation vector for the first hole based on the first actual position and a first reference position for the first hole;
• and
• controlling the at least one repair tool to repair a second housing body at a second hole of the second housing body such that a second actual position of the second hole is offset from a second reference position of the second hole by the compensation vector.

An assembly comprising:

• a gearbox repair system including a platform, an arm, a tool head, at least one repair tool, and a controller,
• the arm is movable relative to the platform,
• the tool head is mounted to the arm, the tool head is configured to selectively retain one or more of the at least one repair tool;
• the controller including a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• control the at least one repair tool to repair a gearbox housing including a first housing body and a second housing body, by:
• controlling the at least one repair tool to repair the first housing body at a first hole of the first housing body;
• controlling the at least one repair tool to identify a first actual position of the first hole after controlling the at least one repair tool to repair the first housing body at the first hole;
• identifying a compensation vector for the first hole based on the first actual position and a first reference position for the first hole;
• and
• controlling the at least one repair tool to repair the second housing body at a second hole of the second housing body such that a second actual position of the second hole is offset from a second reference position of the second hole by the compensation vector.
