The Multi Panel Assembly Cell (MPAC) is an automated fastening machine for various panel types. The flexible configuration with all-electric end effector and independent inner vehicle enables highest throughput rates and maximum workpiece flexibility.
MPAC systems are ideal for moving lines efficiently utilizing both the rail-based movable gantry system and the moving workpiece. The 10-axes positioner makes the system extremely adaptable. It can be configured with the optional Broetje- Automation Flexible Tooling to allow assembling multiple aicraft panels on one system, e.g. shells, skin panels or wings.
