Dassault Systèmes, has announced that Lockheed Martin the F-35 Lightning II robotic workcells painting has migrated to Dassault Systèmes ' DELMIA robotics
An experienced user of DELMIA manufacturing simulation solutions, Lockheed Martin's new implementation of DELMIA Robotics has made the company production processes more efficient, to make use of a common interface across its CATIA design and DELMIA digital manufacturing solutions.
Simulations Lockheed Martin used to verify that the robots all the positions of the painting will reach while avoiding any collisions. Automate the process of paints and coatings provides significant time savings, as well as better process control. Additionally, protection of workers from potentially harmful paint fumes an additional advantage of robots. The company had success with the previous generation of DELMIA Robotics simulation already experienced.
Since they are already familiar with the interface CATIA, Lockheed Martin NC programmers to easily move robot support roles, pick up the software and programs produce.
Lockheed Martin are currently working the robotic solution in two different automated paint cells, both configured on moving rail systems. A three-robot cell is dedicated to the exterior of aircraft painting and a two-robot cell is configured to a variety of F-35 items to deal with. Both the physical robot cell and the programming are designed for flexibility through optimization and verification of programs in the virtual environment DELMIA so the company different combinations of components at different times can paint.
Improvements in the DELMIA Cenit FASTSURF solution easier to change existing robot programs for quite some time gains. Previous solutions require extensive rework any time a component design changed. Now with FASTSURF, can adapt to a change in part be just as simple as connecting a new parameter in the setup strategy. In addition, this solution can Lockheed Martin to check the thickness of coatings — a critical factor in ensuring that aircraft comply with requirements for design — via a query option at any point in the application.
"Working with a visionary company like Lockheed Martin has allowed Cenit to verify that the value of our solution FASTSURF," explained Cenit account manager, Niall Cullen. "Their profound experience in Robotic OLP was key in shaping a production-hardened solution with aerospace accuracy."
"Lockheed Martin was quick to understand the benefits to be obtained by having all engineers working with the same user interface paradigm in CATIA and DELMIA solutions," said Steve Milliren, Executive account manager, aerospace industry, DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes. "With the DELMIA Robotics solution, there is a common structure for easy communication and deletion of data translations for improved data integrity."
