To manufacture the Polo model, in its two versions, a specific semi-automatic process was studied in which specific geometry tools are used to assemble the parts that will make up the complete assembly. Including robotized joining techniques to guarantee greater quality, precision, and efficiency in its manufacture.
It is worth highlighting its production flexibility in the process, thanks to an automatic tool change system adapted to the required model. This makes it possible to adapt quickly to the needs and optimize production efficiently.
We were challenged to optimize productivity on the assembly lines, while ensuring product quality and keeping the automated working environment safe for employees.
To solve the problem, the existing processes were analyzed, and more efficient production processes were developed. We also worked on optimizing the workspace and adapting the final layout to the customer’s needs. Finally, off-line simulation was used as a safety measure to ensure the correct functioning of the automated and robotized production processes.
The implementation of the project involved the development and manufacture of the production means necessary for the production of pilot parts, as well as the quality assurance of the final product in accordance with the quality standards required by our customer. In addition, the installation and commissioning of the project was carried out by a multidisciplinary team of experts, trained to the customer’s particular standards.
Aeronautical tooling design is a key stage in ensuring precision, safety and reliability in the manufacture of large aircraft structures. In this article, we explore the sector’s main technical challenges —from rigidity and tolerances to material selection— and the opportunities opened up by technologies such as additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence and continuous improvement in engineering.
