Collaborative OWA robots for drilling and fasteners insertion in assembly lines

Descripción del proyecto

Robots para facilitar el montaje de aeronaves

En el vasto ámbito aeroespacial, el ensamblaje de aeronaves se enfrenta a grandes retos que hay que superar. El equipo del proyecto CORDIAL, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene una solución: una unidad compacta de perforación y fijación. Con un ensamblaje unidireccional en su núcleo, este innovador efector promete una cooperación sin precedentes entre operadores y robots colaborativos ligeros, remodelando el panorama de la aeronáutica. Definir nuevos métodos de interacción, explorar diseños de ensamblaje y desarrollar efectores automatizados son solo algunos de los subobjetivos del equipo del proyecto. En CORDIAL se abordará este colosal obstáculo, alineándose con los objetivos del programa Clean Sky 2 e impulsando también procesos respetuosos con el medioambiente.

Objetivo

The overall objective of the CORDIAL project is to develop a new compact drilling and fastening unit for One Way Assembly. The effector has to be used by operator or lightweight industrial robots. Six sub-objectives contribute to achieve such a goal:
- To define how robots and operators can interact in an OWA cell.
- To evaluate a typical assembly layout and endeavour new OWA opportunities and risks assessment.
- To develop compact automated effector(s) for drilling, fastening and counteracting
- To establish a test plan according to requirements for commercial aircraft structures.
- To demonstrate the technology, realize specimens and test the proof of concept under real conditions.
- To disseminate the results widely to maximise the impacts of the CORDIAL project.

To complete the project, the capabilities of the partners include:
-SONACA Engineering, industrialization, qualifying and manufacturing means for small subassemblies such as slats of landing gear doors, including composite manufacturing.
-AEROSPLINE innovative engineering in robotics and drilling and fastening effectors. Including innovative fastener with sealant feeding, which permits to simplify and lighten any effector.
-XLIM Advanced sensor vision technologies using small size vision sensors and capable of multiple information computation: coordinate positioning, centring, normality, hole and fastener quality.

The CORDIAL project is perfectly in line with the Clean Sky 2 objectives since it will contribute to develop eco-friendly processes (reduction of the impacts on health, creation of sustainable capabilities), to demonstrate new technologies (human/robot close collaboration in the aeronautics, new structures design), improve the European competitiveness (lighten the assembly process, cost reduction and shorten time-to-market) and create market opportunities (technology transfers, innovation stimulation and attraction of elite in Europe) and new skilled jobs like cobotics engineering.
