Repeatability you can count on.
Scafe said. Encore Automation has developed a full aircraft painting automation system for commercial aircraft. “The system has been in production and consists of two FANUC P- 250iB paint robots mounted on 40-m rails and a 3-m Z-Lift. It utilizes electrostatic bells and closed-loop fl ow control as well as robotic vision to fi nd the craft and offset the robot paths. Offl ine programming was used extensively on the project.”

Another FANUC integrator, Aerobotix Inc. (Madison, AL), has developed aerospace processes for sanding applications and for in-process inspection on layup of composite parts, Blanchette said. “They’re doing on-part inspection with com- posite layup, called in-process mold,” he added. “They’re scanning the surface, putting more composite resins on the surface and curing those, then they’re scanning it again and doing some surface material removal in order to get the exact shape that’s required.” Material handling of large fl exible parts, like the stringers used in the assembly process for composite wing struc- tures, also are a challenging and emerging application for robots, Blanchette said. With larger parts such as stringers, a structural component in aircraft wings, multiple robots have been confi gured by FANUC integrator PaR Systems
