Auto Insert Fastening System
Multi use fastening system used for insertion and final fastening in a lightweight modular application with quick on and off connections for rapid set up and change after drilling.
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.
Dimensions
Total system: 14 feet high, 12 feet wide and 10 feet Deep.
Weight (Drilling End Effector only)
Less than 55.bs/25kg.
Customer Deployments
UTC (Colllins) Assembly of Airbus A320
