The purpose of increasing part density on a fixture is amortization of tasks for the machine and operator, or even a robot. This saves overall rapid traverse time per part, as each tool can execute more nearby versus constant full retracts to and from the toolchanger. First, one thing that may get lost is “time to first article.”

Originally, the job was specified with a 37-second cycle time for the gantry to apply 14 pal nuts to secure the liner to the cowl. Eliminating the repetitive strain on the latter was another key project objective. “So, their focus basically turned to how the gantry’s cycle time could be shortened,” says Hamelin.
