대형항공기 날개 리브 가공을 위한 자동화 공정 시뮬레이션

Abstract

In this study, the automatic processing of the wing ribs of large aircraft was simulated. Specifically, in thesimulation for the automatic processing of the fly ribs, the process of the automated loading device with arobot was examined, along with the wing rib processing and manufacturing automation processes. Moreover,the process time, corresponding to all the stages in the wing rib processing, was calculated. The resultspertaining to the machining and manufacturing times of 34 wing ribs (Nos. 1–17), as obtained through theproposed simulation approach, indicated that the total machining time for the left and right wing ribs and ribguns was 537.7 h. The production time was calculated as 1,117.4 h. It is considered that the processing ofthe wing ribs of large aircraft can be automated in a factory, based on the results of the proposed simulationprocess.
