[0002] The processing technology in the aircraft skin manufacturing process directly affects whether subsequent multiple production steps can be carried out and the quality of the final product, and the tooling plays a crucial role in the processing process. In the past 20 years, the clamping device development of aircraft skin processing tooling technology is generally divided into three generations: the first generation is the clamping device of specific solid mold tooling fixture. In this traditional trimming process, the clamping of the workpiece to be processed is realized by stretching the mold tire and the template, and the clamping force of the solid mold on the workpiece to be processed is limited, which is prone to misalignment, affecting the precision of the skin and greatly reducing the accuracy of the skin boundary. The second generation is the clamping device of vacuum air bag and card plate support type tooling fixture. In the tooling fixture, a series of accessories are installed on the card plate and the tooling base, and clamping is achieved by relying on the vacuum air bag. This generation of tooling fixture still has many shortcomings, such as the card plate needs to be trimmed or remanufactured to meet the processing requirements of different skins, greatly reducing the flexibility of the fixture, and the third generation uses vacuum chuck to fix the skin.
