At its Stade, Germany plant, Airbus Deutschland GmbH manufactures selected aircraft components, including rudders, using carbon fiber composites (CRP). Each individual component receives its shape from the mold in which it is sewed and filled with resin. When the aircraft components are sewed, the needle has to maintain a 90° angle to the surface at all times. This also applied to components with convex or concave shapes. For this reason, only a six-axis jointed-arm robot with sufficient freedom of movement and flexibility could come into consideration as an automation solution.
