The Automated Fiber Placement machine is a large gantry that manufactures Boeing 777X wing skins and spars from carbon fiber infused with epoxy resin. The unique thing about this application, other than its size, is that the spars will be manufactured in one piece.
- 13 meters (42.7 feet) long
- Manufactures carbon fiber spars in one piece
Excited to know that such large robotic systems exist. Thanks for the introductory info. We need more info on such developments.
