Automated Assembly
Automated assembly of composite structures
The assembly of complex composite structures often involves mating of bonded parts. This process can be efficiently automated to meet volume and quality demands. Robots provide accurate and consistent adhesive deposition with a closed loop checking system to ensure perfect bond lines every time.
Automated fixturing aligns and secures panels together during the bond curing phases, which can be temperature controlled and measured. The result of such automation is demonstrated in the assembly of the Blue Ocean Delivery Pods, which are assembled at a consistent / repeatable line speed.
