Renishaw, a precision engineering and manufacturing technologies company, worked with Michigan-based Cobra Aeroto to improve the engine manufacturer’s design processes for aircraft and motorcycle engines. After completing the project with Renishaw, Cobra Aero invested in an AM 400 system to increase its in-house additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities. To optimize the design of its engine cylinders and to gain expertise in AM, Cobra Aero visited a Renishaw Additive Manufacturing Solutions Center. There they collaborated with Renishaw engineers to discover how AM could improve the design of a cylinder for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). “Investing in AM allows us to develop…

…automation and repetitive material handling. You can adjust their precision, speed, stroke length and size, and add almost any type of linear actuator with any variety of drive mechanisms. Gantries can handle larger payloads and much longer stroke lengths since the Y axis is supported. 2. Delta Robot Delta robots, also called parallel or spider robots, consist of three arms and a single base. The base is mounted above the work area while the arms move at high speeds (i.e., 200 picks per minute) with the help of motors on each axis (Process Solutions Inc). However, the delta's payload capacity…
