(Assembly Guidance Systems: Chelmsford, MA) -- Alenia Aeronautica, a Boeing partner in Grottaglie, Italy, has purchased five LASERGUIDE long-throw systems for 787 fuselage production. The projector supporting the systems is a new model of LASERGUIDE, called LASERGUIDE LT, and is able to project distances of more than 50 feet while maintaining Boeing-required line thickness of 0.025 in.–0.075 in., and accuracy of ±0.030 in. (0.75 mm). The long-throw capability of the LASERGUIDE LT projectors enables Alenia to cover large fuselage sections with a single-projector installation. As these LASERGUIDE systems come online, Alenia will be building the largest high-precision parts with a single laser projector.

Alenia made the switch to Assembly Guidance from its current laser vendor following an extensive on-site evaluation. This change in laser vendor was based on meeting Boeing qualification requirements, demonstrated system performance, significantly lower operational costs, and on-site support available through Assembly Guidance’s Italian metrology partner, Axist Srl.
