Modern aircraft manufacturing involves drilling and countersinking
hundreds of thousands to millions of holes. Doing this work by hand
accounts for 65% of the cost of airframe assembly, 85% of the
quality issues, and 80% of the lost time due to injuries. Automated
drilling and countersinking replaces traditional hand methods and
involves using numeric control machinery to drill and countersink a
finished hole "one shot" (drilling a finished hole without using
pilot holes or tool changes). This is a proven cost reducing
technology that improves quality where it has been applied
successfully. The focus of this book is on automating the process
of drilling and countersinking holes during airframe manufacturing.
Since this is the area of greatest return on investment for
airframe producers, the book provides a stepped approach for
evaluating possible areas for applying automation and a detailed
description of the process for choosing, acquiring, and
transitioning the right machinery for success. It also provides a
vision for a 10- to 15-year future state of airframe manufacture.
Readers will use the information to: Understand the evolution of
automated/mechanized drilling and countersinking airframes. Access
decision models and matrices to help evaluate the feasibility of
applying automation/mechanization to any airframe. Gain access to a
step-by-step procedure to select the right piece of machinery.
Learn the necessary processes for testing and transitioning
machinery to production. Assess and acquire data to evaluate the
effect of the process. Choose and train the right individuals to
manage and run the machinery. Conduct cost benefit analysis models.
Make recommendations for maintenance and spares. Address
socio-economic factors to reconfigure a facility from hand to
automated activities. No other book provides such detailed
technical, economic, and social information about automating the
single largest contributor to airframe cost.
