DEFINITION
“The key to a much shorter time-to-market and thus to higher productivity of a machine or plant is modularization. The concept of success is called modular automation”
a production methodology which will enable entire production system to be rapidly designed and configured for a wide range of consumer products.
building machines in such a way that they can be reconfigured quickly and extensively, and thus adapted to new tasks

Case studyModular Automation for the Aerospace Industry
Advanced techniques for manufacturing and assembly enable aircraft suppliers to meet stringent cost targets and time constraints for massive aerospace/defense programs.
To meet the challenges of manufacturing airframe components for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, Northrop Grumman Corp.’s (Los Angeles) Integrated Systems Sector in El Segundo, CA, is developing a modular, moving assembly line at the Antelope Valley Manufacturing Center in Palmdale, CA, facility where the company assembles the F-35 aircraft’s center fuselage.

Modular Automation for the Aerospace Industry
The JSF program is projected to be among the largest military procurements ever, with approximately 3000 of the F-35 multi-role fighters planned for the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, British Royal Air Force and Navy, and potentially several allied countries.

PROBLEMS
To maintain the tolerances ,they ended up building large monuments, in order to maintain accuracy in the thousandths of an inch needed for military applications.
There are some 40,000 OML holes to be drilled in Northrop Grumman’s section of the airframe.
Drilling airframe components constructed of composites with metal substructure such as titanium poses problems when trying to achieve positional accuracy.

Refining critical manufacturing processes
Northrop Grumman engineers have been working in conjunction with partners in the Aerospace Automation Consortium (AAC).
To develop new processes including automated burr-less drilling, structural flexible robotic drilling, rapid low-cost tooling for composite fabrication, automated shim application and part loading, automated fastening on assembly systems, and real-time locating systems.

FOLLOW UPS
Automating airframe assembly meant adopting a modular system similar to the moving lines used by the automotive industry capable of producing one complete assembly per day of any of the three F-35 variants.
This reduces the use of traditional overhead cranes and larger assembly jigs in favor of an innovative Sequential Universal Rail Fixture, or SURF system.
![Page 20: Modular Automation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081415/5535c8445503467c7a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FOLLOW UPS
Automated burr-less drilling and automated shim application, can drill a burr-less hole in composite-metal stack assemblies without damaging the liquid shim material.
Determinant assembly, which means that holes are drilled in the skin and substructure separately, and then have to match perfectly when assembled.

FOLLOW UPS
Precision milling machine (PMM), was adopted for machining of the composite parts for the F-35 airframe assembly, to get a very tight tolerances in the low thousandths, over a large envelope.
the airframe parts are first put through a wash to normalize temperature to within a couple degrees of ambient temperature. The machine then uses a proprietary volumetric compensation algorithm developed by the manufacturer and licensed for use by aircraft manufacturers to mill, drill, and trim the composite components.

FOLLOW UPS
For toolpath planning, Northrop Grumman uses the Vericut NC verification and optimization software from CGTech Corp. (Irvine, CA).
Vericut has programmed into the simulation model the compensation system, and how the machine will react to certain commands, so when you send the machine from one end to the other and drill a hole, you’ll know how the head is going to rotate and turn to get oriented for the next hole that it’s going to go drill.

CONCLUSON
The use of Modular Automation resulted in reduced engineering time.
Increased speed of machine integration Increased speed of system commissioning Increased plant floor space available for
manufacturing Reduced Mean time To Repair (MTTR) Adopting leaner automation boosts aircraft builder’s
F-35 airframe assembly line.
