  • Patent number: 11932419
    Abstract: A processing installation for aircraft structural components having a processing station comprising a clamping frame, wherein the clamping frame extends along a station longitudinal axis which extends in a longitudinal direction, and a processing unit which has an upper tool unit having an upper tool which is orientated along a first tool axis and a lower tool unit having a lower tool which is orientated along a second tool axis, wherein the first tool axis and the second tool axis can be orientated parallel with a vertical direction which is angular, in particular orthogonal, relative to the longitudinal direction, wherein in at least one processing position of the upper tool and in at least one processing position of the lower tool the first tool axis and the second tool axis are orientated coaxially relative to each other, and wherein the lower tool is supported on a lower tool carrier.

  • Publication number: 20220016755
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a mobile robot platform for processing an aircraft structural component with a robot, with a platform which can be moved on a floor in a horizontal movement direction, and with a height adjustment unit, arranged on the platform, the robot being arranged in a vertically adjustable fashion on the height adjustment unit and in at least one processing mode of the mobile robot platform the height adjustment unit is arranged in a non-pivoting fashion with respect to the platform, the robot having robot kinematics for positioning an end effector, and the robot kinematics having a first robot joint with a first robot limb, which is mounted ahead of the first robot joint, and with a second robot limb, which is mounted after the first robot joint, and a second robot joint ahead of which the second robot limb is mounted and after which a third robot limb is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20200207487
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a processing installation for aircraft structural components having a processing station comprising a clamping frame, wherein the clamping frame extends along a station longitudinal axis, and a processing unit which has a first upper tool unit having an upper tool which is orientated along a first tool axis and a lower tool unit having a lower tool which is orientated along a second tool axis wherein the first tool axis and the second tool axis can be orientated parallel with a vertical direction which is angled with respect to the longitudinal direction, and wherein in at least one processing position of the upper tool of the first upper tool unit and in at least one processing position of the lower tool of the lower tool unit the first tool axis and the second tool axis are orientated coaxially relative to each other.
