Study content

• Definition of interfaces and tolerance spectrum for assembly interfaces
• Analyzation of origin tolerance concept and recommendations for future tolerance concept
• Laser Tracker measurement of existing regional aircraft fuselage

 

Study Results

• Calculated tolerances for aircraft assembly interfaces (25+ interfaces) for example:
  • Fuselage / Wing interfaces
  • Fuselage / Empennage
  • Fuselage / Doors
  • Definition of Key Characteristics
  • Measured values of existing fuselage

Advantages

• Aircraft production tolerances for further assembly design concepts
• Aircraft design impact at an early stage for cost optimized assembly design
  (quantity, position of tooling holes,…)
• Tolerance targets for sub suppliers
• Deformation data of aircraft assemblies in different build phases

Study content

• Automated machine concept for medical fabric product
• Automated Laser Cutting, Folding, Ultrasonic welding of PPE material and Labeling
• Material supply on coil

 

Study Results

• Design of continuous machine concept – Fully automated from coil to finished product including packaging
• Concept for high-speed production combined with traceable quality assurance

 

Advantages

• Local production of medical fabric supplies without special labor qualifications
• Maximum utilization of fabric, hence minimum of scrap material
• Scalable production rate (OEE of 85%)
