US Patent:

20190382135, Dec 19, 2019

Filed:

Jun 14, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/009122

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Peter Hoang Bui - Lynnwood WA, US
Aksel Bode - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B64F 5/10
B64C 1/26
B23P 19/12
G01B 7/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods are used to determine a defined fastener for fastening two parts together at an assembly fastener location. The defined fastener comprises fastener components selected from a plurality of different fastener components available for use in an assembled fastener. The fastener components of the defined fastener may be selected based on criteria defining characteristics of an assembly stackup including the two parts and the assembled defined fastener. Dimensions of the two parts at respective fastener locations forming the assembly fastener location may be used to determine a part stackup dimension for the assembled fastener at the assembly fastener location.

International Classification:

G05B 19/19

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for machining a part for an assembly. First sensor data is acquired for a surface of a first part from a first sensor system. Second sensor data is acquired for a set of existing holes in a second part from a second sensor system. A surface model of the surface of the first part is generated using the first sensor data. First offset data is computed based on a nominal model of a third part that is nominally positioned relative to the surface model within a three-dimensional virtual environment. Second offset data is computed for the set of existing holes using the second sensor data. Overall offset data is generated using the first and second offset data, wherein the overall offset data is used to drill a set of holes in the third part for use in fastening the third part to the second part.

International Classification:

B64F 5/00
G05B 15/02

Abstract:

Disclosed wing-to-body join methods include commanding a wing to a first command position and then iteratively repeating a first-phase movement and/or commanding a wing to a second command position and then iteratively repeating a second-phase movement. The first-phase movement includes determining a real position of the wing, calculating a first-phase difference between the real position and the first command position, and commanding the wing to reduce the magnitude of the first-phase difference. The second-phase movement includes determining a real position of the wing, determining a real position of the body, calculating a second-phase difference based on the second command position and the real positions of the wing and body, and commanding the wing to reduce the magnitude of the second-phase difference. Some embodiments include performing a port-side move for a port wing of the aircraft and performing a starboard-side move for a starboard wing of the aircraft.

US Classification:

451 28, 451540

Abstract:

Cutting tools and machining methods using cutting tools are disclosed. An example cutting tool comprises a shank and a head on the shank, the head comprising a diamond abrasive-coated cutting surface, the cutting head having grooves interrupting the cutting surface and extending from the cutting surface toward an axis of rotation of the head, the cutting surface having a substantially constant radius.
