Device for assembling brackets in an aircraft structure

摘要

A positioning device for assembling parts on a structure is disclosed. More specifically, the positioning device is designed for assembling fixed brackets to an aircraft structure. A laser projector is fastened directly on the rigid aircraft structure; its position is therefore stable in relation to the latter, even if the structure undergoes slight deformations. The position of the projector is determined accurately by utilizing targets, which are also fastened to the primary structure. A method for implementing the positioning device is also disclosed.

主权项

1. A positioning device for positioning at least one bracket for assembly with an aircraft structure, the positioning device comprising:
a laser projector configured to project an outline of the at least one bracket on a surface of the aircraft structure; a set of targets fastened to the aircraft structure within a visibility space of the laser projector so as to locate the laser projector in relation to the aircraft structure; and a mount for fastening the laser projector to the aircraft structure in a defined position and orientation, the mount comprising a supporting platform and at least one parallel rail suspended from the aircraft structure by clamping devices.
