A movable battery replacing platform includes a travel-driving portion used for driving the movable battery replacing platform to move on the ground; a lifting portion mounted on the travel-driving portion, for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion mounted on the top of the lifting portion, for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery. The battery mounting porting is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device to unlock a battery locked on the bottom of an electric vehicle, automatically aligning an unlocking point of a battery locking mechanism and realizing automatic unlocking in the movement. The angle of an upper board relative to the battery unlocking position can be adjusted by a movement actuating device, so that the unlocking point of the battery can automatically fit where the movable battery replacing platform remains still.

The intelligent gripper for a hydraulic torque converter includes an upper supporting plate. A clamping mechanism, a vibration excitation mechanism and a drive rotating mechanism are arranged on the upper supporting plate. The clamping mechanism is used for automatically clamping a T-shaped cap of a hydraulic torque converter. The vibration excitation mechanism comprises a plurality of vibration excitation cylinders and a plurality of vibration excitation heads. The plurality of vibration excitation heads is driven to be alternately telescopic through alternate actions of the plurality of vibration excitation cylinders, to hit the hydraulic torque converter so as to achieve automatic and precise tooth alignment. The drive rotating mechanism includes at least two shifting blocks and at least two guide shafts.

The disclosure provides an apparatus, system and method for a moveable bearing stage that allows for highly refined alignment and placement, and particularly planar alignment and placement, of component or devices through the use of robotics. The apparatus, system and method of providing at least a planar alignment of at least one component or device in relation to a secondary reference plane may include at least: a frame and stator assembly, having, at an upper portion thereof, at least a semi-spherical receiving interface; a movable assembly that moves within the frame and stator assembly, and that is connectively associated therewith by at least a plurality of springs; a semi-spherical stage, suitable for reception by the semi-spherical receiving interface and capable of at least rotational movement therewithin; a chuck within the semi-spherical stage and capable of at least co-planar, post-planar, and ante-planar positioning in relation to a plane provided by a topmost portion of the semispherical stage, wherein the chuck is capable of receiving the component or device; and at least two gripper jaws suitable for receiving and holding, at an upper portion thereof, the component or device, wherein the two gripper jaws comprise, at a lower portion thereof, at least ramps capable of physically interacting with ones of the motion stops.

Methods aim to reduce and/or eliminate the need for shims in manufacturing assemblies, such as in manufacturing of aircraft wings. Exemplary methods include predicting a set of predicted manufacturing dimensions within a range of predetermined allowances for a first part, manufacturing the first part, scanning the first part to determine a set of actual manufacturing dimensions for the first part, and at least beginning manufacturing a second part before the scanning the first part is completed. The second part may be manufactured based on the set of predicted manufacturing dimensions for the first part. Once the scan of the first part is completed, the set of predicted manufacturing dimensions may be compared to a set of actual manufacturing dimensions to check for any non-compliant deviances between the predicted and actual manufacturing dimensions. Repairs and local re-scans may be performed in the areas of the non-compliant deviances, which may streamline manufacturing.

A device for inserting the blind fastener in the fastening site, a pulling and extracting device for swaging the blind fastener in the fastening site and a passive compliance device that binds the inserting device to the pulling and extracting device. The passive compliance device allows the installation of the bind fastener without sensors.

Provided is a jig for assisting the dismounting and mounting of a top ring. One embodiment provides a jig for mounting/dismounting at least a part of the top ring for holding a substrate. The jig comprises a movable plate for supporting at least a part of the top ring, which is in a dismounted state, a plurality of posts for positioning the jig at a predetermined position relative to the top ring, the plurality of posts being configured to be engaged with the top ring, and a drive mechanism for moving the movable plate in a direction toward and away from the top ring.

A method of assembling thin-walled curvilinear components to a bulkhead offers a cost-effective, time-saving process of manufacture. Each component includes a faying edge configured to be aligned with respect to the other. A first component and the bulkhead are preassembled. In one approach, a second component is clamped about the bulkhead for a preassembly measurement of radial gaps between the faying edge of the second component and the bulkhead. An average value of the radial gaps is calculated, and a specific shim thickness corresponding to the calculated average gap value is selected. The second component is unclamped, and a plurality of shims, each having the selected thickness corresponding to the calculated average gap value, is applied about the bulkhead. The second component is then permanently secured to the bulkhead over the shims, with respective faying edges of the first and second components fixed in radial alignment with each other.
