Periodic Reporting for period 3 - ASTRO (Assembly Tooling for the Fast Rotorcraft Project)

Période du rapport: 2020-09-01 au 2022-02-28

Résumé du contexte et des objectifs généraux du projet

The objective of the project is to get a complete set of assembly and maintenance tooling, including auxiliary tooling. Due to
the tight tolerances required in aeronautical industry, Some assembly jigs will be equipped with an optical structured light
measure system that will allow the set up of the tooling and the position verification of the parts during assembly with
tolerances equal or under 0.1 mm. The use of this kind of systems are spearhead in the field of precision measurement and
the advantages against currently measurement systems, as laser tracker, will be shown in following paragraphs. In addition,
optical systems are becoming the preferred measurement systems in automatized assembly jigs which will be the step
forward in the aeronautical assembly lines.

Progrès au-delà de l’état des connaissances et impact potentiel prévu (y compris l’impact socio-économique et les conséquences sociétales plus larges du projet jusqu’à présent)

Main impact of the project is the high technical challenge of Wing Support Tool. High precision needed for wing positioning and a platform with 6 freedom degrees could be used in future equipments for military as well as civil purposes.

General view. Dedicated tooling
