On Reliability and how Cobots build Tailored Blanks

Kurzfassung

Aerospace industry is challenged by producing specifically designed parts at rather small lot sizes but strict performance and quality requirements. Even the thousands of clips within the structure of the A350 XWB are merely pairwise of identical design. Smart automation with cobots allows human machine interaction were the robot performs repetitive tasks while the skilled worker may prepare customization measures within the same shared workspace. In this work, the cobot is applied to preform laminates for materials processing qualification thus ensuring reproducibility and process quality.
