Applications

  • Engine Inlets

Modularity

N/A, This solution is a Smart Drilling Electric End Effector attaching to a customized gantry system. The end effector can be removed to be replace with other end effector solution.

Layout

  • Structure Arrangement: Two beams for X-axis motion and curved beam for Y axis
  • Customer cell space expansion not necessary. The modular gantry conforms to and works around existing assembly jigs.
+

Swap-out

End Effector Modules can be replaced or reused in other cells without having to repair the entire robot or perform expensive repairs

Range of Motion

  • A Axis Range= 22 deg
  • B Axis Range= +/ 18 deg for normalization to surface.
  • Surface radius Y-axis custom to diameter of Inlet.
