The system has special application in the manufacture of aircraft wing covers (made of carbon fiber and the stringers () cured jointly with the wing cover during the polymerization in autoclave. The tool pieces () being used are defined by angular elements () copying the geometry of the stringers (). The shape of these stringers corresponds to the 'T' section. The angular elements () comprise, in their upper part, a pair of battlements () in order to be caught by part of the clamps () of a head () linked to a robot () of the spherical type with articulated arm with six axes. The angular elements () are made of INVAR material and they are used to keep in position the stringers during the curing cycle in the autoclave.

Positioning, handling and assembling system for manufacture of aeronautical parts

A mobile transport platform for the handling of aeronautical parts with a frame has an array of telescopic actuators vertically arranged in rows and columns, each telescopic actuator is coupled by one end to the frame, and has a coupled head () at its opposite end; a control system connected to each telescopic actuator for individually controlling the actuation of each telescopic actuator so that the telescopic actuator can adapt a position between that of maximum extension in which the head and at least part of the shaft of the telescopic actuator project from the plane of the load surface, and that of maximum retraction in which at least the shaft of the telescopic actuator does not project from the plane of the load surface.
