摘要: A system for assembling parts on a sheet to form panel includes fixture holding the and presenting broadside robot. rack within reach of robot holds plurality end effectors, each having an interconnect which can be gripped centered by when it picks up effector. The effectors include, 1) drilling effector drill holes in centers determined movement robot; 2) routing router peripheral edge portions along lines router; 3) probe sensing contact with surfaces index device mounted at known location serve as reference monument. part program constituting data set complete assembly detail design information obtained directly from original digital engineering definition records, including locations all fastener fastening needed make panel, position thereof relative holes, also machine instructions directing carry machining operations are fasten correct produce routed configuration. control computer controls motion accordance contained automatically performs absolute coordination probing verify accuracy positioning.
