Elbe Flugzeugwerke & ZAL join forces
Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) and ZAL GmbH have launched a joint initiative focused on camera-based process automation. The primary goal is to streamline the replacement of the aircraft top skin, a key phase in transforming passenger planes into freighters.
A concept of this 4-axis portal robot was showcased at the ceremonial opening of the ZAL expansion on July 10, 2024. Functions of the demonstrator will include:
- Camera-based rivet localization
- Automatic surface alignment of the robot
- Drilling out existing rivets
EFW is a world-leading provider of passenger-to-freighter conversions (P2F).
