Abstract: Topside modules are fabricated at a production site using as a foundation for installation a gravity-based structure (GBS), which can stay afloat during water transportation. Modules fabrication includes: Stage I, fabrication of components; Stage II, fabrication of nodes from the components; Stage III, fabrication of sub-assemblies from the nodes; Stage IV, shotblasting and painting of assemblies; and Stage V, assembling modules from the assemblies. Then modules transportation, movement to their seats on the GBS and their integration include: Stage VI, moving the modules to an area near the dock using self-propelled vehicles. Stage VII, moving each module onto guides of a lifting system installed in a dry dock. Stage VIII, lifting each module until lifting system guides are connected with GBS top slab guides. Stage IX, moving each module to its seat on the GBS, installed on the GBS and integrated with other modules and the GBS.

Abstract: A fastening tool. In the fastening tool, a top part guiding matching portion engages a top part guiding portion in a sliding fit; a pressing part guiding matching portion engages a pressing part guiding portion in a sliding fit; a lever hinged to a base part; a transmission part engages a transmission part guiding slot in a sliding fit; the transmission part is driven to slide by the pressing part, and the lever is driven to rotate by the transmission part, then the top part is driven to slide out, due to a reaction force acting on the pressing part by the transmission part and the friction between the pressing part and the base part, the pressing part remains to be self-locked by friction, which can constrain the pressing part and the top part is locked.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling an airframe of an aircraft, including receiving a half barrel section of fuselage, advancing the half barrel section in a process direction across multiple stations to separately and simultaneously perform work on the half barrel sections, and subsequently joining the half barrel segments to form a section of the airframe. Each pair of half barrel sections, such as upper and lower half barrels, are progressed through assembly line processes to be delivered to a joining station for joining the half barrels together to form a circumferential section of the fuselage. Multiple joined circumferential sections are joined together to form an elongated extent of the fuselage. Indexing features are provided in the assembly process to monitor and control the progression of the half barrel sections in the work stations of the assembly line process.

Abstract: A method and system for an automated modular construction factory is presented. A plurality of pre-cast construction panels, a quality control zone, a transportation system, a general stockyard, a sequencing system, an assembly zone, an assembly system, a transit system, a finishing zone, and a plurality of finishing stations are provided. The pre-cast construction panels undergo quality control under the quality control zone and are transported and ordered to the general stockyard through the transportation and sequencing systems. The panels are then assembled into a constructed room in the assembly zone through the assembly system. The constructed room is transported by the transit system to the finishing zone where the constructed room is furnished and completed by the plurality of finishing stations.

Abstract: A dispensing head is disclosed including a control system located in the dispensing head, an encoder read head located in the dispensing head, and a light-capture sensor located in the dispensing head configured to detect a light flash of a stationary camera when the light flash illuminates a component on the dispensing head or an element of the dispensing head. The control system is configured to determine a precise encoder position with the encoder read head at a moment of the light flash. The dispensing head is configured to at least partially assemble an unfinished product. An assembly machine having the dispensing head and a method of at least partially assembling an unfinished product with the dispensing head is further disclosed.

Abstract: A production facility is provided with: an AGV for transporting a plurality of fuselage panels of multiple types having different shapes in a mixed state on a previously determined transport path; a plurality of A/Rs for riveting the fuselage panels; work areas set so as to correspond to the respective A/Rs in which the A/Rs move to rivet the fuselage panels; and a buffer area, set beforehand in the transport path adjacent to the work area, to which the A/R corresponding to the adjacent work area moves so as to rivet the fuselage panel. When there is no fuselage panel to be riveted in the work area adjacent to the buffer area and the fuselage panel to be riveted is present in the buffer area, a control device moves the A/R corresponding to the work area adjacent to the buffer area to the buffer area to rivet the fuselage panel.
