Abstract:In order to improve the aircraft wing assembly tooling design efficiency and design quality, the association
design technology is applied to the assembly frame of rapid design and configuration in this paper. Firstly, the structure
characteristics of the aircraft wing and its corresponding assembly jigs are summarized, then the frame structure of
reconfigurable flexible assembly jigs type and their modular parts, the associated design technology and its implementation
method in the wing assembly jigs design are elaborated. The feasibility of the method was verified by a kind of assembly
tooling for an aircraft vertical tail. Finally, a rapid design system of reconfigurable assembly tooling was developed based
on CATIA and CAA technology, which can meet the requirement of the variant and modification of the aircraft products.
As a result, the design of assembly jigs becomes simpler and faster, the product development cycle is shorter and the cost is
lower.
