The Universal Splice Machine is a mobile, automated system that uses electro-magnets to clamp details as it drills and sets fasteners along one of the major splices in the tail section of Boeing's C-17 aircraft. This new device eliminates the strenuous hand drilling and setting of nearly 4000 fasteners.
