Abstract:The implementation of plug and fly principles for the assembly of high-lift systems requires the design of new work processes and jigs. Conventional jigs are inflexibly and lag of capabilities to adapt for product and process designs. Adaptive jigs provide higher flexibility and allow workers to position the product in accordance with their personal needs. This paper presents a novel wheel-shaped adaptive jig and investigates its influence on the ergonomics of assembling a high-lift system. A CAD program is us… Show more
