Automated system and method to manufacture aeronautic junction parts

A system for manufacturing parts for aircraft wings of the type including upper and lower wing structures, the system comprising:

• a milling machine programmed to mill aircraft wing junction parts with overmaterial, the junction parts being configured to interconnect an upper wing structure with a lower wing structure via a vertically extending rib at a semi-wing junction area;
• a scanner configured to measure an inner surface and an outer surface of the semi-wing junction area;
• and
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the scanner, the at least one processor comparing the measurements with a model and based on the comparison, generating a trajectory milling program to fill gaps between the junction parts;
• the same or different milling machine being configured to use the generated trajectory milling program to again mill the junction parts thereby removing overmaterial to minimize gaps between parts and eliminate the corresponding need for shimming,
• wherein the junction parts are configured to connect upper and lower skins of the aircraft's wing to the rib.
