Mobile automated overhead assembly tool for aircraft structures

摘要

A method and apparatus for performing an operation (111) on a work surface (116) (116) of a structure (106). The apparatus may comprise a motion platform (122) and an overhead support system (118). The motion platform (122) may be configured to be positioned above the work surface (116) (116) of the structure (106) to perform the operation (111) on the work surface (116) (116). The overhead support system (118) may be configured to carry the motion platform (122) across a floor (107) of a manufacturing environment (100) from a first location (117) to a second location (121).
