Robotic solutions for OEM and aftermarket sanding of aircraft body

Technical Readiness Level:

TRL 9

 

Cobots & robots help to optimise surface sanding and reduce production time and cost and Norton MeshPowerTM, together with partners Isybot and Ferrobotics offer a complete solution to meet the demands of this changing industry. Norton MeshPowerTM discs are designed for use during the painting and re-painting of aircraft wings and fuselage exterior. Sanding composites, gel coat, primer and plastics is usually dusty and messy, but with Norton MeshPowerTM, dust extraction is maximized, and particles are removed from the surface for a smoother, more even surface finish.

Key features:

  • Matrix backing of MeshPowerTM sanding discs provides maximum dust extraction for a cleaner working environment, reduced clogging and longer disc life.
  • Cut quality and finish is always consistent, with a finer scratch pattern, improving productivity.
  • Ferrobotics’ Active Orbital Kit 601 provides an optimal solution for automated sanding of aircraft wings to guarantee the best finish, crucial for modern aircraft coatings.
  • Compact and simple, easily controlled feed rate, force and rotation speed.
  • With ISYBOT COBOT SYB 3 manual sanding in operations that can not be automated is easy. The cobot is mobile between different posts, quick to integrate and use, has low inertia due to unique mechanical design, and has smooth movement in gesture assistance mode. Improve productivity while reducing operator fatigue.
