Aerobotix unveils six-robot hypersonic missile production line
Aerobotix unveiled a six-robot production line for scanning, sanding, coating and measuring hypersonic missile components.
Evidence notes
- The line integrated six industrial robots and a curing booth into a continuous process for complex missile components.
- Automated shape scanning generated part-specific toolpaths before sanding and application of FIREX RX-2390 thermal-protection coating.
- Non-contact wet-coating measurement checked thickness during application, targeting the thermal and aerodynamic tolerances required for hypersonic flight.
Company context
Aerobotix designs and integrates robotic manufacturing systems for aerospace and defence. Its workcells automate painting, sanding, coating, inspection and material handling for aircraft, missiles and other high-specification components.
