摘要： A programmable robot 1 is disclosed. The robot is configurable between a measuring configuration, in which a probe 103 is operable, and a machining configuration, in which a tool 105 is operable. The robot comprises: a carrier 3 for carrying the probe and the tool; a position sensing arrangement 5 for determining coordinate data; and a controller 7. The controller is configured to cause the carrier, in the measuring configuration, to move the probe to each of a plurality of reference features 107 in a template 109 held in a first orientation by a jig 111, wherein feedback via the probe enables the position sensing arrangement to determine coordinate data associated with the reference features. The controller is configured to, on the basis of the determined data, cause the carrier, in the machining configuration, to return to each position corresponding to each reference feature location and machine a workpiece held in the first orientation.

摘要： A sealant applicator is provided for applying sealant to a surface of one or more aircraft parts. The sealant applicator comprises a sealant inlet for receiving sealant from a source of sealant; a sealant outlet for the dispensing of sealant therethrough; and a main body, wherein the main body comprises one or more sealant-contacting surfaces for contacting dispensed sealant; and one or more spacers for abutting against a surface of the one or more aircraft parts and for maintaining the one or more sealant-contacting surfaces in spaced relationship with the surface of the one or more aircraft parts.

摘要： A method of forming a charge. A first part of the charge is clamped with a free part of the charge protruding from the clamp to a free edge of the charge. The free part of the charge comprises an inner layer, an outer layer and a plurality of internal layers. The outer layer is contacted with a forming roller and the inner layer is contacted with a guide roller. The free part of the charge is bent over a convex corner of a die with the forming roller to form a first bend with the outer layer on an outside of the first bend. The free part of the charge is also bent away from a mould surface of the die with the guiding roller to form a second bend with the inner layer on an outside of the second bend. The rollers are simultaneously moved across the mould surface so that they progressively draw the charge across the mould surface, the forming roller presses the inner layer of the charge against the mould surface, and the second bend moves towards the free edge of the charge.

摘要翻译： 形成电荷的方法。 电荷的第一部分被夹持，电荷的自由部分从夹具突出到电荷的自由边缘。 电荷的自由部分包括内层，外层和多层内层。 外层与成形辊接触，内层与导辊接触。 电荷的自由部分与成型辊在模具的凸角上弯曲以形成第一弯曲部，外层在第一弯曲部的外侧。 电荷的自由部分也用引导辊弯曲离开模具的模具表面，以形成第二弯曲部，内层在第二弯曲部的外侧。 辊子同时移动穿过模具表面，使得它们逐渐地将电荷吸引在模具表面上，成形辊将电荷的内层压在模具表面上，并且第二弯曲部朝向电荷的自由边缘移动。
