Automated movers for Airbus

Solving worked with the Airbus team to produce an automated vehicle with the manoeuvrability and flexibility required to enable these large wide-body sections to be moved around their impressive factory complex.

 

The Airbus A380 wing production plant at Broughton in the UK, has been using Solving equipment for the last 10 years. A380 wings weighing over 30t are transported from the build line to the paint shop on an electrically-powered raft, supported on Solving air bearings.
