A Flexible Fixture for Aircraft Wing Assembly Based on a Parallel Kinematic Machine (Exechon)

Assessment of ISO Standardisation to Identify an Industrial Robot's Base Frame

“…This can improve the quality of the tasks performed [14,15]. There is also stated potential for parallel kinematic robots to replace traditional dedicated fixtures used in aerospace assembly, enabling adaptable and cost-effective fixturing solutions [16]. However, current limitations in the positional accuracy of industrial robots are preventing them from becoming a dominant presence on aerospace manufacturing in general and assembly lines in particular [17,18].…”
