It's the first time Boeing will use such technology to manufacture wide-body commercial airplanes. The pulse line uses guided KUKA robots equipped with end effectors manufactured by another KUKA company, Alema Automation, to do the riveting currently performed by workers using handheld tools. The robots will work on the forward and aft sections, installing up to 60,000 fasteners on 777 fuselages, quickly and with great precision.http://www.boeing.com/features/2014/07/bca-777-fuselage-07-14-14.page• Acquired Robot Programming 1 Certificate from KUKA COLLEGE, 95% 02-21-14
