For decades, plant personnel have performed insulation resistance tests with handheld megohmmeters to prevent motor failures that lead to costly unplanned shutdowns, failure-to-produce penalties and rewinding repairs. However, these tests only provide a “snapshot” of motor health. In a matter of days, motor windings and cables exposed to moisture, chemicals, contaminants or vibration can be compromised and fail at startup.

Implementing five-axis machining can be an excellent strategy for efficiently producing accurate, complex parts. However, it takes more than the right machine tool to realize the full potential of a five-axis process. In addition to the right machine, tooling and fixturing options, CAM software must be selected carefully.

NASA's Langley Research Center is using collaborative robots (cobots) and RoboDK software to automate and enhance the inspection of aircraft fuselages. By utilizing dual cobots, heating elements, and infrared cameras, NASA has significantly improved inspection speed, accuracy, and coverage.
