Kuka Automation and Robotics is showcasing at Farnborough some of the industrial robots and automated production systems that helped land it a place on the $200 million Airbus-led Next Generation Composite Wing (NGCW) project.
One of the UK’s leading suppliers of this innovative technology, Kuka will be part of the project developing rapid automated assembly of components. The company, based in Halesowen, Central England, is a subsidiary Germany’s Kuka AG. It will contribute a substantial figure over the next three years to the NCGW project, which is one of the most significant aircraft research programmes in the UK for several decades.
Gary Taylor, Kuka’s aerospace sales manager and NGCW programme manager, says: “Kuka is looking forward to developing and sharing its expertise in this substantial project, which will not only bring benefits for the aerospace industry, but will further secure and enhance Britain’s reputation as a centre of manufacturing excellence.
