Programmable fixture used in the aerospace industry to hold curved parts. Designed with 300 closely spaced actuators to hold customer’s thin aluminum skins. Design was literally from the ground up including pit, foundation, tables, actuators and end effectors.

The customer experienced reliability problems with the original design
that was caused by graphite cutting particles becoming embedded in the X-axis drive system. We eliminated the problem by re-designing the X-axis stage so that the axis drive system was isolated from the cutting chamber.

These machines deliver +/- 0.0015 inch, or better, slot consistency over 99% of the length of 40 foot pipes, which enables our customer to produce the most accurate and consistent well screens in the industry.
