A350 Horizontal and Vertical Tail Box Assembly Cell – AIRBUS (SPAIN & GERMANY)

Solution Overview

This solution is designed to follow a serialized in-line manufacturing process, where the machines operate facing each other on opposite sides of the structure. The structure is mounted on a structural frame that moves along the line between the two machines.

Project Objective

A key objective is the harmonization of two projects: the horizontal structure manufactured in Spain and the vertical structure manufactured in Germany.

Challenge

The challenge is to manufacture the components using a One-Way Assembly (OWA) process while ensuring:

  • Hole positioning accuracy within ±0.2 mm
  • A burr-free interior between drilled materials to eliminate the need for later disassembly

Requirements

  • The machine operates on a longitudinal mobile axis to allow access to the entire 12,000 mm-long part.
  • “Hole-to-hole” cycle time of 36 seconds.
