Title: Craig Cramer


1
Dimensional Management of Composite Tooling for
the Worlds Largest One Piece, All Composite
Aircraft Fuselage
  • Presented by
  • Craig Cramer
  • Boeing 787 Operations Mandrel Production
    Readiness Leader

Composite Solutions Applied Throughout the 787
3
The Project
  • Build a complete Test and Certification Barrel of
    the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fuselage (The 787
    Fuselage team).
  • Construct this all composite fuselage as a One
    Piece Skin-Stinger Bond Assembly.
  • The Barrel, when completely assembled with doors,
    windows, floors, etc., will be fatigue tested for
    FAA Certification.
  • Maintain commonality between Boeing, the world
    wide Partners and the Suppliers (The Production
    Readiness Team PRT).

Metrology Application
  • Metrology challenge inspect the many surfaces of
    the Tools to optimize the as-built condition of
    each Sub-Assembly when the entire Tool is
    assembled
  • Model Preparation Develop models, drive files
    and tolerances
  • Measurement Tasks
  • (using laser radar scanner and laser trackers)
  • Inspect Tools for Quality Assurance
  • Use As-Built data to optimally assemble the tool
  • Measure IML and OML after fuselage is cured
  • Provide collection data to optimize the
    manufacturing process
  • Data used in certification and validation of the
    manufacturing processes for the FAA

6
STP - Metrology
  • Situation
  • New manufacturing processes with shortened flow
    times require new methods for quickly analyzing
    data and generating feedback.
  • Target
  • The proposed test program must have fast
    feedback loops of the survey data.
  • Proposal
  • Use scripted measurement plans with Spatial
    Analyzers common interfaces to metrology
    systems, thus providing a closed loop control
    system with critical component features to
    automated product assembly. A Big Button
    interface for running the scripts simplifies shop
    floor implementation while enabling close process
    flow control. Embedded process checks and
    tolerances enable the script to handle real-world
    production assembly processes.

The Target
  • Seamless integration of measurement requirements
    in the Design/Quality Engineering and Production
    processes for 787 Fuselage Test Barrels.
  • Accurate and concise analysis of the data
    collected, verified directly to the digital
    model.
  • Rapid turn-around of collected data to support
    decision making.
  • Understandable reporting of the data to all
    participating parties, delivered in a
    timely/consistent manner.
  • Make the measurement results available
    enterprise-wide on the internet.
  • Future application for partner use on production
    airplane (digital portable solution).
  • All partners/suppliers use the same digital
    thread common tie-in and verification method
    yield product consistency across the
    supplier/partner chain.

9
The Proposal
  • Form a team of metrology experts to script
    Measurement Plans.
  • Script measurement plans and assist in the
    surveys as needed (the team).
  • Use the same software throughout the process to
    avoid misinterpretation of data.
  • Use real time analysis capabilities, on screen,
    so the operator will know immediately if the data
    is valid.
  • Inspection buy-off can be done on-the-spot as
    the survey is being taken, or hand stamped on the
    paper copy of the report, directly to the design
    model.
  • Generate reports on-the-spot and/or send
    results to a server for instant observation upon
    survey completion (avoid delay).
  • Share reports enterprise-wide via the internet.
  • Use existing tools if possible (SA is currently
    accredited software in the Boeing Company).

10
The Plan(New Method)
  • Write integrated Scripted Measurement Plans and
    Analysis Tasks to avoid misinterpretation of
    data.
  • Use the same software to write Measurement Plans,
    perform the survey and provide analysis.
  • Reduce, or eliminate, the time consumed by manual
    analysis.
  • Rapid turn-around of analysis after data
    collection is complete.
  • Work directly with the CAD model.
  • Instrument observations, reference tie-in, and
    measurement uncertainties are captured,
    documented and communicated consistently,
    establishing a level of confidence in production
    deliveries.

Metrology Automation Concepts
  • Communication between components, including
    across process and network boundaries
  • Shared measurement process components (e.g.,
    Locate Instrument, AutoMeasure, MeasureMode)
  • Quick error and status reporting
  • Conditional Branching, Looping, and Interactive
    Queries
  • Dynamic loading of components
  • Constructs for instrument control, compound
    documents, automation, data transfer, storage and
    naming
