Step 4: Connecting longitudinal and transverse stiffening elements
Resistance welding is once again used to integrate cleats between the stringers and frames. A small, lightweight robot is used alongside a standard robot, enabling operation within the smallest of spaces. The 'cobot' automatically aligns itself with stringers and frames by scanning them, thus eliminating the customary measuring of components or small-scale manual positioning, as is the case in current industrial applications.
