Method for ensuring dimensional invariance of a physical structure consisting of multiple segments during assembly

摘要

The method involves repeatedly detecting positions of individual segments and built-together group of segments within a three-dimensional coordinate system during assembling an airplane structure. The position of the respective segments and the respective built-together group of segments is corrected, if the position of the respective segments or the respective built-together group of segments lies outside a tolerance band about a predetermined reference value, where the tolerance band is predetermined corresponding to the favored dimensional stability. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for securing dimensional stability of a multi-segmented constructional structure (2) a computer program product comprising a set of instructions for performing a method of securing dimensional stability of a multi-segmented constructional structure.
