摘要： A stringer clip end effector (21) suitable for use with a computer-controlled (CC) machine tool is disclosed. The stringer clip end effector (21) includes a pair of jaws (45,47) for picking up a clip (23) at a presentation location. After being moved by the CC machine tool to an insertion location adjacent to a hat-shaped stringer (31), a pair of cams (60a, 60b) located on opposite sides of the clip (23) are extended into the stringer cavity (25) and rotated to spread the stringer walls (27,29). Thereafter, the clip (23) is positioned in the stringer cavity (25). Then, the cams (60a, 60b) are rotated to a nonspread position, and clamp elements (49a, 49b, 51a, 51b) are actuated to press the walls (27, 29) of the stringer (31) against the clip (23). Next, drill bits (57a, 57b, 59a, 59b) that face the outer surface of the stringer walls (27, 29) are energized and moved toward the stringer walls. After holes are drilled through the stringer walls and the clip, the drill bits are withdrawn. Thereafter, the clip (23) is either released while lying between the walls of the stringer (31), or withdrawn from the stringer (31) and moved to a temporary storage location.

摘要： An assembly cell for accurate placement of stringer clips in a channel of a stringer for a compound contour section of an airplane fuselage, and for holding the clips at a predetermined orientation while drilling holes for fastening the clips in the stringers includes a fixture having locating surfaces for holding the stringer in a configuration that is the same as the configuration it will have when installed at its designated position in the airplane. The fixture has headers adjustable to conform to the shape of the airplane in which the stringers will be installed, The headers have clamps for securing the stringers against accurately machined reference surfaces on the headers. An end effector is held by a machine tool in the assembly cell for gripping a stringer clip and inserting it into the stringer channel. The end effector has spreader bars for insertion in the stringer channel operable to spread sidewalls of the stringer and widen the channel to facilitate insertion of the stringer clip, and has clamp bars positionable on opposide sides of the stringer and operable to close on the stringer to squeeze the stringer sidewalls on the stringer clip after insertion in the channel. Opposed drills on the end effector have right angle drives holding drill bits for simultaneously match drilling holes through the sidewalls and through the stringer clip. The end effector machine tool operates as a positioning mechanism for accurately for positioning the drills at each stringer clip location along the stringer clip to positions corresponding to the contour of the fuselage at each of the locations under control of a CNC machine controller.

摘要： A machine for positioning clips in channel-shaped airplane fuselage stringers, and drilling holes in the stringers and clips, includes an elongated beam support having a box beam supported on five floor engaging legs and supporting a carriage assembly positioned on said beam and supported on bearings traveling along rails on the beam for longitudinal movement therealong. A motive mechanism, including a servomotor in the carriage and driving a pinion engaged with a rack fastened to the beam moves carriage longitudinally along the beam. An index mechanism including a fixed end stop at a known position indexes a stringer on the beam at a fixed reference position thereon. The stringer is centered under a drill by a centering mechanism mounted on the carriage, and a drill system drills a series of vertical holes along the channel floor of the stringer at locations specified in a digital product definition of said part. A multiplicity of clips is held in a clip cartrige for feeding the clips in order to a gripper for gripping, moving and placing a series of clips in the stringer channel and holding the clips in a specified position while they are drilled by two opposed drills disposed on a horizontal axis orthogonal to the stringer axis for drilling through side walls of the stringer and the clip positioned in said stringer. A pads positioner mounted for lateral movement toward and away from the axis of the stringer receives the clip cartrige and positions clips from the cartrige at a specified position to be gripped and picked up by the gripper. A position feedback and control system receives product definition information from a central product definition repository and translates the product definition information into machine instructions for moving elements of the machine to correct positions for drilling holes in the stringer and stringer clip to match corresponding holes drilled in airplane fuselage panels and frames to enable the parts to be positioned accurately with respect to each other without use of hard tooling.

摘要： A contact which is attached to a wire is fitted in a hole of a connector by first identifying the wire to which the contact is attached. The location of the hole that is to receive the contact is determined automatically from an electronic data lookup table, and a signal is provided which positions an end portion of a fiber optic rod in line with the correct hole of the connector. The opposite end of the fiber optic rod is optically coupled to a source of light. The fiber optic rod is advanced so that it enters the hole and projects from the opposite side of the connector identifying the correct hole. Light emitted from the fiber optic rod facilitates visual identification of the hole from which the rod is projecting. Therafter, the fiber optic rod is retracted, and the contact is inserted into the hole.

摘要： Improvements in securing a blanket in place in vacuum bagging and like operations. Known systems for securing the blanket are cumbersome and time consuming and do not allow sufficient adjustment of the tension on the blanket. The system of the invention allows quick and easy attaching and detaching of the blanket, allows a wide range of adjustment of the tension, and does not require accurate alignment of the blanket. A strip (32) of net material is attached to a blanket (30) around the periphery of the blanket (30). A plurality of horizontally spaced pins (20) are secured to a lay-up structure (2) and positioned to extend downwardly and outwardly. The blanket (30) is placed over the structure (2) with the net (32) hanging down around pins (20). Net (32) is pulled over the free ends (22) of pins (20) to extend free ends (22) through holes (38) formed by the net structure. Tension may be adjusted by extending pins (20) through different holes (38).
