The Robot Assembly Cell (RACe) is a light weight solution for drilling of multi material aircraft parts. The solution is based on a robot with a high positioning accuracy in conjunction with a multi-task end-effector.
The high robot positioning accuracy is ensured with a special calibration and compensation developed by Broetje-Automation. The System provides you with high flexibility during various industrial applications and reduces the space capacity due to mobile or stationary platform options.
