A processing installation for aircraft structural components having a processing station comprising a clamping frame for receiving the aircraft structural component, which is intended to be processed, wherein the clamping frame extends along a station longitudinal axis which extends in a longitudinal direction, and a processing unit for processing the aircraft structural component,
- wherein the processing installation comprises a frame comprising an upper frame portion having a guide,
- wherein the clamping frame extends in a region inside the frame and can be pivoted within the frame about a longitudinal axis of the clamping frame which may be orientated parallel with the station longitudinal axis but which can also be tilted relative to it,
- wherein the processing unit consists of two upper tool units comprising a first upper tool unit, which forms an end effector, and a second upper tool unit, which forms an end effector, and one lower tool unit, which forms an end effector,
- wherein the first upper tool unit and the second upper tool unit are independently of each other movable in a linear manner on the guide over a travel path and are configured to be operated independently of each other in the processing unit and wherein the lower tool unit is movable,
- wherein the first upper tool unit has an upper tool which is orientated along a first tool axis and the lower tool unit has a lower tool which is orientated along a second tool axis, wherein the first tool axis and the second tool axis are orientated and/or can be orientated parallel with a vertical direction which is angled with respect to the longitudinal direction, and wherein in at least one processing position of the upper tool of the first upper tool unit and in at least one processing position of the lower tool of the lower tool unit the first tool axis and the second tool axis are orientated coaxially relative to each other,
- wherein the second upper tool unit has an upper tool which is orientated along a third tool axis, wherein the third tool axis is orientated or can be orientated parallel with the vertical direction, and wherein in at least one processing position of the upper tool of the second upper tool unit and in at least one processing position of the lower tool of the lower tool unit the second tool axis and the third tool axis are orientated coaxially relative to each other;
- wherein the first upper tool unit and the second upper tool unit are configured to cooperate with the lower tool unit, wherein the first upper tool unit and the second upper tool unit each comprise a rivet head configured to perform a riveting operation with the lower tool, wherein the first upper tool unit and the second upper tool unit each further comprise a drill head, and wherein the first upper tool unit and the second upper tool unit are configured to take on the function of each other during the processing of the aircraft structural component such that when a rivet element is jammed in the first upper tool unit, the first upper tool unit is moved out of a previous processing region into a service position in order to remove the jammed rivet element and the second upper tool unit is moved into a corresponding processing region and continues processing the aircraft structural component.
