Description
ABSTRACT: SURVICE Engineering is proposing the development of specialized tooling to provide the installer real-time feedback of proper fastener installation. The proposed design measures the fastener as-installed and provides the user with immediate visual feedback to verify proper fastener installation has been achieved, saving time by doing the QC inspection during installation. The system concept, while incorporating hardware and associated circuitry, will require no significant training or tooling changes. The anticipated costs will be within the solicitation stated goal. BENEFIT: The proposed approach will streamline fastener inspections in support of aircraft manufacturing across the globe. It can also improve the QC processes in other manufacturing industries which use similar fastener techniques, and can be extended to other fastener types.
