A Case Study of an Automated Fuselage Pre-Join

Abstract

A recent fuselage join automation project gave the metrology team an opportunity to implement an automated metrology solution. This automation case study reviews a practical application of a single laser tracker solution. Limited access to the inside of the fuselage where the tracker sits adds an additional challenge to the problem, since it calls for perfection in the setup. Many challenges may be addressed successfully with mundane responses but a key to a satisfactory project solution is persistence in problem solving.
