Aviation Industry
Aircraft fuselage is assembled by tens of thousands of parts. Large parts include front, middle and back fuselage, wings, tail, undercarriage, control system, power unit, etc. Usually, these parts come with large size and are manufactured in different factories. Finally, what control methods can be used to assemble efficiently and precisely are always the main concern of airplane manufacturers. It is an undoubted fact, however, that, bridge CMM machines are indispensable for this industry.
