Orbital ATK Contribution to Composite Automation
ASD Innovation and Automation Drives Our Competitive Advantage
Improved Manufacturing Flow
Improved Repeatability
Improved Cost Performance Why Automation?
2007 – Future
Invented the Automated Stiffener Forming Machine
(8 Patents)
Automated Stiffener Forming (ASF) allows high rate production of uniquely designed complex parts, historically built by hand layup
2003 – Future
Out of Autoclave Processing
Orbital ATK is advancing Out-of-Autoclave capability using its Ultrasonic Tape Lamination (UTL™) and other in-situ consolidation technologies
2009 – Future
High Speed NDI
Orbital ATK developed high speed automated Non- Destructive Inspection (NDI) technology to increase throughput, detection fidelity and data evaluation
2014
High Speed Waterjet
Water jet robotics holding fixture means no monuments and no Machining Restraint Fixture (MRF). Water jet robot bases saves 15-30 minutes per part in MRF alignment, scanning and removal
2015+
Dockable Gantry System (DGS)
Combines both ATL and AFP in a single work cell. Capable
Technology potential to change how we make large structures
