This week (Sept 30 and Oct 1st) SAMPE Europe will hold a virtual conference. There will be over a 100 authors on stage, presenting high-quality technical papers that focus on Challenging Applications in advanced composites materials and their processes. Airborne will be represented by Marcus Kremers and Anders Brodsjo.
Automated Kitting – a Case Study with GKN Fokker
On October 1st 15:30 – 17:30 Marcus Kremers will present the Automated Kitting solution and the way its implemented in the production processes at the GKN Fokker facilities. The presentation is titled ‘Automated Kitting implementation: A case study from the aerospace industry’.
Kitting is a key process step in the material flow in almost every composite factory. It is the step in which rolls of material are converted into kits of cut plies, sequenced in the right order for layup. While the cutting process is in most cases already automated with conveyor belt cutting machines, the kitting process is still manual. Airborne has developed Automated Kitting solutions and installed a system to GKN Fokker. The paper presented describes the design of the system, as well
Manufacturing Complex one-off structures in a Digital and Automated Way
Also on October 1st from 9:00-10:40 Anders Brodsjo will present a case study in Room 1 on an automated and digital approach to manufacture complex, one-off composite structures. In this session we will showcase our automated and digital production of huge scientific telescope structures for the C-CAT program.
CCAT-prime will be a 6-meter (20 feet) diameter telescope designed to operate at submillimeter to millimeter wavelengths and located at an exceptional site at 5600 meters (18,400 feet) on Cerro Chajnantor overlooking the ALMA array.
