Analysis of the cost of using a laser tracker in the assembly of an aircraft airframe assembly compared to traditional assembly methods with and without the use of CM

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the use of a laser tracker in the assembly of airframe units and traditional assembly methods. The process of assembling the fuselage panel for transport aircraft of different dimensions is considered. The main problems of traditional assembly methods are identified and solutions to these problems in assembly using a laser track are presented. The cost of a slipway for assembling three fuselage panels of different dimensions was calculated, as well as the cost of assembling a panel from composite materials using slipless technology. Estimation of the production cost clearly shows the advantage of introducing metrological production support technologies into the aircraft assembly process.
