Advance FAL Processes with Dynamic Part Tracking

iGPS Provides live positioning feedback of control surfaces during Major Component Assembly, Enable faster and more accurate join processes with live delta feedback of multiple points of interest.

There are multiple commercial aircraft FAL processes that iGPS can be used for including :

  • MCA Preparation & Assembly
  • MCA Joining
  • Aerodynamic & Symmetric Verification

 

The characteristics of iGPS that make is so well suited for FAL include :

  • Large Volume & Scalable – no other instrument can create as large, accurate and adaptable measurement volume
  • Multi-Point Measurement – no other single instrument can measure as many points throughout as large or accurate a volume as iGPS
  • 6DOF tracking – Simultaneous multi-body tracking is more accurate and simpler with iGPS than the same process with multiple single point trackers

 

With and iGPS system deployed at a FAL facility for multiple purposes additional benefits are realized :

  • Simplicity & Accuracy – an iGPS network behaves as a single instrument doing away with swapping hardware or interface tooling or stacking up uncertainty with instrument alignments
  • Cost & Time Savings – Shared hardware reduces up front costs and the ability to perform multiple concurrent processes maximize cycle time efficiency
