The project for the assembly of the A380 was begun in 1998. Numerous new challenges had to be mastered: the extraordinary size of individual segments, the oval shape of the aircraft itself (round on other aircraft), double-decker fuselage, and so on. Besides, the tools used for the A340 had to be carried over. más

It hardly needs saying that measurement inaccuracies during aircraft construction can have enormous negative consequences. That is why the issues of quality assurance and measurement technology assume such paramount importance in the fields of aviation and space travel.
And that is also why Airbus uses no fewer than seven Leica Geosystems Laser Trackers in its Bremen factory. By using the tracker in combination with the new T-Probe, the Bremen-based team has been able to achieve considerable savings in terms of both cost and time. The revolutionary hand-held Leica T-Probe enables inspection of hidden points and probing in areas unreachable by traditional probing solutions. más

(Reporter 50, April 2004) Laser Trackers are commonly used primarily in the automobile and
aerospace industries and are gaining increasingly greater popularity due
to their flexibility and high measuring precision. Eurocopter, the world's
leading helicopter manufacturer, has improved production line efficiency
by up to 70% in just a few years - thanks to two new state-of-the-art Laser
Tracker measurement systems from Leica Geosystems. más

Boeing Aircraft, St. Louis has been using theodolite coordinate measurement systems since the mid-1980s to replace optical transits and tooling bars and to reduce manufacturing application and inspection times. The theodolite system is an optical measurement system for operators to map and send data points to a PC for storage and later use. The system uses two to four theodolite heads and a central computer to triangulate the position of data points for better coverage of the work envelope. Data can be collected at a rate of five points per minute using experienced operators. más

With current and future aircraft becoming more complex , the McDonnell Douglas Tooling Center has outfitted itself with the most accurate, cost-effective methods of measuring and building large three-dimensional objects. Utilizing coordinate measuring systems, the Smart310 Laser Tracker Systems build and inspect to ever narrowing tolerances. With systems that can record measurements at a rate of 500 coordinates per second, time- consuming tasks that would have been overwhelming in the past, are now done quickly, accurately and in a cost-effective manner. más
