The invention relates to assembly line manufacturing and assembly of aircraft wings. Systems, methods, and devices for assembling a wing are provided. The method includes the steps of: coupling the robotic arm to a bracket on the rib, holding the rib against the wing plate; the coupled robotic arm is operated to mount a shim between the rib and the wing plate. Some methods also include (e.g., removably) mounting the bracket, such as by aligning it with an indexing feature at the rib. In some methods, the stent contours the rib. The system includes a carriage coupled to the rib and a robotic arm extending from the carriage and for performing operations (e.g., inspecting, installing shims and/or fasteners, etc.) at an interface between the rib and the wing plate. The apparatus includes a robotic arm dimensioned to be positionable at an interface between the rib and the wing plate, where the robotic arm includes an end effector to perform operations (e.g., inspecting, installing shims and/or fasteners, etc.) on the interface.
本公开涉及飞行器机翼的组装线制造和组装。提供了组装机翼的系统、方法和装置。方法包括以下步骤:将机器人臂联接至肋上的支架,抵靠翼板保持肋;操作所联接的机器人臂,以在肋与翼板之间安装垫片。一些方法还包括:(例如,可拆卸地)安装支架,诸如通过将其与肋处的转位特征对准。在一些方法中,支架向肋实施轮廓。系统包括:联接至肋的滑架和机器人臂,机器人臂从滑架延伸,并且用于在肋与翼板之间的界面处执行作业(例如,检查、安装垫片和/或紧固件等)。装置包括机器人臂,该机器人臂的尺寸被设计成能够放置在肋与翼板之间的界面处,其中机器人臂包括末端执行器,以在界面上执行作业(例如,检查、安装垫片和/或紧固件等)。
