Abstract
With the increased production rates for the Airbus A380, Premium AEROTEC was tasked to establish a new more efficient part inspection cell for pre-assembled fuselage shells. It was determined that no current off the shelf piece of metrology equipment would be able to meet all of the requirements, so a new machine was built from the ground. Multiple disciplines such as a T-Scan, multiple T-Mac frames, a newly developed stereo imaging sensor, off the shelf industrial robotics, and a 6DoF Laser tracker were all integrated through a metrology grade automation SW. Data will be presented that demonstrates the achievable accuracy and speed of this new system as well as a roughly 70% productivity enhancement over the original manual photogrammetric inspection process.
