Robotics firm helped construct first collaborative cellular robotic for U.S. Air Power upkeep depots
Aerobotix, a number one robotics integrator for the aerospace and protection industries, introduced as we speak that it’ll show a brand new cellular robotic on the WESTEC/AeroDef Manufacturing Convention in Lengthy Seashore, California, from Nov. 7-9.
These would be the first public demonstrations of the robotic, which has been particularly designed for the aerospace and protection sector. It may be configured for functions together with sanding, portray and inspection. The demonstration robotic will carry out automated duties on aerospace elements.
“As Aerobotix continues its groundbreaking work in cellular robots, we’re excited to deliver this new expertise to WESTEC/AeroDef,” stated Josh Tuttle, Aerobotix enterprise growth supervisor. “Cellular robots are extensively used basically manufacturing and warehousing however are nonetheless new to the aerospace and protection industries. They assist the ‘manufacturing unit of the long run’ idea and provide vital advantages in labor and price financial savings, output high quality and employee security.”
Aerobotix has been a pioneer in using cellular robots for aerospace and protection functions, partnering with Compass Know-how Group (CTG) to assist construct the primary collaborative cellular robotic for U.S. Air Power upkeep depots.
Developed beneath the Air Power’s Small Enterprise Innovation Analysis program, the self-navigating Adaptive Radome Diagnostic System (ARDS) makes use of microwave indicators to non-destructively consider plane radomes and establish defects akin to delamination or water ingress. The ARDS gained the highest Protection Manufacturing Know-how Achievement Award on the 2021 Protection Manufacturing Convention.
“The brand new cellular robotic we’re demonstrating at WESTEC/AeroDef is not self-navigating just like the ARDS however might be reconfigured to turn out to be self-navigating if the shopper has that want,” stated Tuttle. “A key energy of cellular robots is that they are extremely configurable and may be quickly repurposed to serve a number of goals in a number of places.”
Aerobotix will provide hourly demonstrations at WESTEC/AeroDef sales space No. 3003, on the right-hand aspect of the AeroDef corridor.
