Workers begin the build by loading and assembling the floor beams and frames, and then synchronous robots work on the fuselage panels, both longitudinal and circumferential splices. Working from each side of the fuselage, KUKA robots work in pairs to concurrently drill and countersink holes, insert fasteners, and complete the riveting. In the FAUB workspace, the fuselage remains “upright” all through the whole construct.
