    摘要: Methods and systems for large-scale airframe assembly are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes measuring a plurality of discrete point positions at least one of on and adjacent to at least one of a first and a second component, and measuring at least one surface position on the at least one of the first and second components. The measured positions are compared with a desired position information (e.g., a computer aided design model). The comparison may include applying a fitting routine to the measured positions and the desired position information. Next, a transformation matrix for improving the comparison between the measured positions and the desired position information is computed. At least one of the first and second components is then moved according to the transformation matrix. During movement, the plurality of discrete point positions may be monitored and provided to the position control system by a feedback loop.

    摘要: There is provided a tie-in device for correlating at least two different coordinate systems. The tie-in device comprises an outer surface having a predefined geometric shape, such as a generally spherical surface, located at a first predefined distance from a reference point of the tie-in device, such as the center of the generally spherical surface. The outer surface of the tie-in device is mappable to determine the location of the reference point in a first coordinate system. The tie-in device comprises at least one target located at a second predefined distance from the reference point. The target is locatable in a second coordinate system to determine a location of the reference point in a second coordinate system. The relative locations of the reference point are tied-in, advantageously by processing circuitry, to correlate the first and second coordinate systems.

    摘要: A system for preventing the performance of an out-of-sequence reaming operation during the machining of holes in a lamination of fiber-reinforced plastic material. The system automatically stops or inhibits a reaming operation if a sensing tip of the reamer encounters an incompletely drilled pre-hole or blank material (i.e., no pre-hole) instead of a fully drilled pre-hole. The system does not require any human intervention to inhibit the reaming operation. In one embodiment, the human or operator cannot re-start the reaming process until the machine tool or reaming equipment is reset. In some cases the reset may require manual intervention.

    摘要: A reaction cam system for use as a release system in a torquing process. The reaction cam applies a reaction force to a backup wrench coupled between a head of a fastener and an adjacent component. The reaction cam is positioned against the backup wrench and has an inner sleeve removably coupled to a head of the fastener. An eccentrically mounted cam housing is rotatably supported about the inner sleeve. The cam housing is positioned prior to the torquing process being initiated such that a high point of the housing faces a portion of the backup wrench. After the torquing process is complete and the backup wrench is forced tightly into contact with the cam housing, the cam housing can be rotated such that a gap is created between the backup wrench and reaction cam. The reaction cam then can be easily removed from the adjacent component and the backup wrench easily removed from the fastener.
