The mission was to create a flexible and ergonomic assembly line with short lead time. The aim was to increase the number of assembled pylons to the Airbus A320neo – the world’s most advanced and fuel-efficient passenger airplane with an aisle.
The conveyor system transports the pylons weighing up to 1200kg and is between 4 and 6 meters long, automatically at a height of 5.5 meters. The pylons are lowered and discharged onto the respective assembly station, after which the product carrier rises to retrieve a new pylon. The four assembly lines together have a total of 42 product fixtures. OCS has taken responsibility from design and manufacturing to the implementation of ready-made assembly lines.
