Embodiment Construction

[0031] now refer to figure 1 , shows an example system 10 that tracks the position and orientation of a power tool 20 that may be used in the assembly and maintenance of complex systems.

[0032] The phrase "power tool" as used herein refers to any electric or battery powered drill, hammer, driver, fastener device that joins or secures two or more items together, such as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) simulator Electrostatic discharge devices, and pneumatic and hydraulic tools such as impact wrenches and hydraulic jacks, respectively.

[0033] The phrase "complex system" as used herein refers to a plurality of interconnected components that, taken as a whole, exhibit one or more properties or behaviors that are significantly different from that of a single component. For example, an airplane is considered a complex system because it is capable of supporting air travel and includes various parts such as ailerons, wingtips, support and connecting fittings, engines, and the li...

Abstract

A system and method of tracking location and orientation of power tools utilized in the assembly and maintenance of complex systems is disclosed. The system can facilitate collaboration between maintenance and alert maintenance personnel to complete complex system activities.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to complex systems, and more particularly to the coordinated assembly and maintenance of complex systems using power tools. Background technique [0002] A complex system consists of a number of interconnected components that, taken as a whole, exhibit one or more properties or behaviors that differ significantly from those of the individual parts. Aircraft, for example, are complex systems with many parts and critical dependencies requiring proper maintenance. Mechanical parts workers perform various tasks related to the disassembly, inspection, repair, assembly and maintenance of mechanical parts of aircraft components according to detailed maintenance and repair procedures. The work generally involves visually and dimensional inspection of individual or complex components such as wings, fuel tanks, rotor blades, compressor blades, oil pumps, etc., to look for obvious failures such as cracks, scratches, leaks,...
