Tolerance Prediction for Determinate Assembly Approach in Aeronautical Field

The optimization of the aeronautical assembly lines is one of the most challenging tasks in development of a new aircraft. To date the Aeronautical companies are founding project related to the optimization of the manufacturing processes, impacting on the reduction of the non-recurring costs. The work presented focuses on methods for the implementation of the determinate assembly approach in the case of manufacturing of aeronautical structures. The methods are based on the prediction of the coupling tolerances between airframe components in order to reduce the numbers of the features to be manufactured in assembly. All that to lead to a reduction of the non-recurring costs.
