Painting, welding, material removal, and machining need to be performed with extreme care and precision in the aerospace industry. An uneven coat of paint on an aircraft affects fuel economy and payload capacities. The use of industrial robots in the manufacturing, painting, and assembly of aerospace equipment is quickly gaining credibility and acceptance. FANUC, Motoman, and KUKA manufacture and build industrial robots that perform to the specific, precise specifications required by the aerospace industry.
