Barriers to Automation of Aircraft Production

• Steve Ritchie
• Feb 15, 2011

11
Why Automate ?

• More Repeatable Processes
• Improved Quality
• Environmental Benefits
• Paint Sealant applications
• Health Safety Improvements
• Ergonomic, Repetitive Strain Syndrome
• Reduced Labor Content and Cost
• Limited and Shrinking Skilled Workforce
• Competitors Worldwide are Investing

12
Challenges

• High Capital Cost - Ms typically only
  justifiable with new program
• Low Production Volumes
• Intricacy of Product Design Limits Access
• Accuracy and Repeatability of Robots
• Fastener Types and Specs
• Product Evolution vs Clean sheet
• Certification and Inspection / Validation
• Flexibility for Change
• Programming / Tooling vs Human
• Labor Content is Small of Cost
• 2D Engineering Data

Automation vs Design for Manufacture
13
Significant Progress on G650

• Machined Components replacing Sheetmetal
• Better repeatability improves aircraft assembly
  time
• Integrated Panel Assembly Cell (IPAC)
• Frame attachment to skins
• Fuselage joining straps
• Robotic Trim and Drill on Empennage Assembly
  (Fokker)
• Automated Tape Layup
• Composite Horizontal Skins
• Automated Electrical Harness Testing
• Mortise Tenon Furniture CNC Routing

Leveraging Engineering 3D Data in Manufacturing

Robotics

• Actively Benchmarking use of Robotics in
  Aerospace over last 3 years by Advanced
  Manufacturing team
• Discussions and site visits with Robotic
  Integrators
• Kuka Systems
• Electroimpact
• Brotje
• Potential Applications being reviewed
• Drilling of sub-assemblies
• Fastener installation
• Paint application
• Fillet Sealing

16
Industry Observations on Robotic Applications

• Significant Progress been made in Recent Years
• Acquisition Costs have reduced
• Accuracy and Repeatability have improved
• Standard 0.025to 0.040 typical
• Integrated Programming within Delmia PLM products
• iGRIP module for Robotics
• Incorporation by Tooling / Equipment integrators
• Implementations in several Aerospace companies
• Fokker
• Spirit
• Premium Aerotech
• Airbus

Summary

• Gulfstream is actively implementing various forms
  of automation based on overall business benefits
• Product Design is a Critical Enabler to Leverage
  Opportunities
• Off-the-shelf accuracy of Robots requires
  additional Alignment system overlay to achieve
  Aerospace accuracies / tolerances
• Typically need .010 to .015 (IPAC 0.005)
• Load and Function Capability of Head is limited
• End effectors developed for specific applications
• Application requires Highly Repeatable activities
• Hard to cost justify for low production volume
• Pallet mount systems for use in multiple cells
• Gulfstream will continue to explore potential
  applications for automation
