Madison, Alabama-based robotic integrator Aerobotix has reached an industry milestone, having integrated and installed more than one hundred Fanuc robots.
Reaching this goal is a major milestone for a small business in a niche market. The 100 robots across five different countries support programs ranging from the F-35 Lightning and the B-2 Stealth Bomber to Patriot and advanced hypersonic missile programs.
"The use of robots has drastically reduced the time and cost needed to complete these tasks and creates an ergonomically friendly and less hazardous work environment. One of the main goals of Aerobotix is to ensure safer work conditions for our customers," said Keith Pfeifer, the company’s engineering manager.
Aerobotix designs and integrates turn-key robotic sanding and painting systems and quality robotic inspection tools and methods. These robotic systems are used primarily in aerospace and defense industries.
