Recently, the world's largest civil aircraft structure and systems company, Spirit AeroSystems, announced that its engineers have extensively combined robotic hardware and software technology to develop complex inspections of aerospace composite components that meet aircraft fuselage, wing and secondary bearing structures. Quality inspection system for demand.
“Usually, in order to meet the customer's testing needs, we will use large fixed equipment, but it is difficult to meet the needs of new applications,” said Dan Caughran, vice president of global quality at Spirit. “The new method we developed is around two industrial robots that can easily switch between 7 different sensors and multiple inspection methods. In short, without this technology, we can only rely on poor flexibility and cost-doubling solutions. Program."
“Whether they are independent or cooperative, the two robots can automatically detect 200-foot-long complex composite parts, greatly reducing inspection time and sometimes even 40% more efficiency,” said Mike Grosser, chief non-destructive testing engineer at Spirit. Said. “Result analysis is automatically obtained by the advanced phased array (Phased Array) digital signal processing while the robot is detecting.”
Currently, Spirit is using this new robotic non-destructive testing technology at its headquarters in Wichita, Kan., and plans to use similar technology for testing at the Preswick plant in Scotland. The company's engineers also use the robotics technology in other manufacturing areas where machining flexibility, machining, and material handling are critical.
