Whippany Actuations Systems makes electro-mechanical actuation systems for the aerospace and defense industries. The company needed to increase production quickly, preferred to manufacture in-house, and looked for an alternative solution to sinking a large expenditure into a new CNC machine.
The manufacturer started researching a robot that could tend a CNC machine, and that’s when Whippany’s manager of manufacturing engineering, Phil De Mauro, turned to Universal Robots.
“We were looking for a solution that could be implemented and programmed easily and didn’t require the traditional guarding and safety that other robots required," DeMauro says.
The video below explains the process, and more details of this case study are here.
