The paper details the two main phases of the research and development process which led to the current state on the stage 0 dedicated to the assembly of the A320 bottom panel on stringers and buttstraps.
First phase:
evaluation of the feasibility through trials on platform with a serial KUKA robot, evidence to achieve correctly 3/8" diameter and evidence of the difficulties to achieve the performances for the positioning accuracy.
Second phase:
development of specific solution on calibration and end effector, implementation on site, definitive performance proved during production.
