Barriers to Automation of Aircraft Production Steve Ritchie Feb 15, 2011
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
Challenges • High Capital Cost - $M’s – 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 • 2 D Engineering Data Automation vs Design for Manufacture
Significant Progress on G 650 • 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 3 D Data in Manufacturing
Brotje IPAC Machine for G 650 Fuselage Panels Attaches Frames and Splice Straps Install 32, 000 fasteners Drill 24, 000 pilot holes Drill 4, 000 full size holes Accuracy +/- 0. 005’ Investment approx. $6. 5 M
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
Industry Observations on Robotic Applications • Significant Progress been made in Recent Years – Acquisition Costs have reduced – Accuracy and Repeatability have improved • Standard 0. 025”to 0. 040” typical – Integrated Programming within Delmia PLM products • i. GRIP module for Robotics – Incorporation by Tooling / Equipment integrators • Implementations in several Aerospace companies – Fokker – Spirit – Premium Aerotech – Airbus
KUKA System for Vertical Assembly Potential Single Sided Fastener installation ROM cost $1. 8 M including tooling Robot on Modular Pallet to allow use in other work cells
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
