Aircraft Robotic Laser Scribing System
Industry:
Robotic Laser Scribing System 
Problem:
Custom Machines was approached by an aircraft manufacturer to develop a laser scribing system.
Custom Machines Solution:
Designed to aid in the manufacture of aircraft engine components, this laser scribing system utilizes a high accuracy robot and servo positioning fixture for several different part styles. The supplied aircraft components are manually loaded and unloaded onto the fixture. The pre-coated component then has a series of shapes scribed on the outside surface via a CO2 laser attached to the end of the robot. The entire system is enclosed in a light tight enclosure.
Installation Benefits:
- 30 day ROI
- 400% reduction is scrap rates
- Increased production rates
- Reduced packaging times
- Faster product changeover times
- Low training expenses because of the robot software's ease of use
Previous Robot Usage Experience:
This was the first robot installation at this plant. Its success paved the way for more applications.
