Interfaced CNCs Control 77 Servo Axes Aircraft Riveter

摘要

At the Boeing Company facility in Macon, GA, where they build subassemblies for the C-17 Globemaster III airlifter, two Broetje-Automation Integrated Panel Assembly Cells (IPAC's) have been added to increase Boeing's complex process capability. These multi-axis riveters incorporate four CNCs, controlling a total of 77 servo axes on each machine, which are currently used for automating the process of building fuselage panel assemblies for the C-17.
