Automated Airframe Assembly with the Hi-Set® Fastening System 982153
The Hi-Set Fastening System is a high strength (95 KSI shear) single piece fastener used for automated airframe assembly with squeeze type assembly equipment. As the demands for improved surface quality, shorter cycle times and lower cost increase throughout the airframe industry, automated assembly is becoming more attractive. The design detaiils, installation tooling, installation sequence and cost effectiveness of the Hi-Set are reviewed and compared to other fastening systems.
