CUT-OUT PROCESS FOR MOVING-LINE STRUCTURE

The application relates to apparatus and methods that are provided for fabrication of a structure (120), for example, a half barrel section of a fuselage. The apparatus includes an indexing unit (130) dimensioned for coupling to an indexing feature (124) disposed on the structure. The structure proc...

Zusammenfassung:	The application relates to apparatus and methods that are provided for fabrication of a structure (120), for example, a half barrel section of a fuselage. The apparatus includes an indexing unit (130) dimensioned for coupling to an indexing feature (124) disposed on the structure. The structure proceeds along a process direction (199) during fabrication. A cutting station (140) cuts out manufacturing excess (129,135) from the structure to form, for example, openings for windows and doors. A method for fabrication of a structure includes indexing a structure to a cutting station based on an indexing feature associated or located on the structure. The method includes operating the cutting station to cut manufacturing excess from the structure. A method includes removing cut sections of the manufacturing excess and routing these sections away from the cutting station.
