ABSTRACT:
A workstation for sealing the spar of an aircraft. A robotic arm can be positioned on a platform with a sealant application system. The platform can be moved along a path adjacent the spar to move the robotic arm. The robotic arm can move the applicator of a sealant applying system to a portion of a spar that is to be sealed. The sealant system can be positioned on the platform to be moveable along the path. The robotic arm can be moveable relative to the platform. The path can be positioned overhead of the spar. The spar can be rotated by a rotating fixture so that the platform can be moved in opposite directions relative to the path. A controller can control the movement of the platform along the path, movement of the robotic arm relative to the platform, movement of the applicator by the robotic arm, and the application of sealant by the sealant applying system.
