Over the past few weeks, Electroimpact has been using our manufacturing resources to produce face shields and ear guards to assist in the fight against COVID-19. We want to say thank you to our healthcare heroes!

The Electroimpact Accurate Robot "COBRA" (Combined Operation: Bolting and Robotic Automatic-drilling) is enabling Lockheed Martin to manufacture the X-59 QueSST with efficiency, quality and affordability.

"Most recently, the X-59 program has leveraged a Combined Operation: Bolting and Robotic Automatic-drilling system to finish the lower wing skin of the aircraft. Simply known as COBRA, the robotic system drills, countersinks and inspects holes with a quality pass rate over 99.99%. Its use on X-59 marks the first time Lockheed Martin has drilled a production article with the COBRA system, pairing automation and robotics technologies to increase manufacturing speed and accuracy."

Electroimpact is a proud sponsor of the WSU Formula SAE team Wazzu Racing which provides engineering students with a hands-on learning opportunity and industry practical experience.

Electroimpact has been nominated as a finalist for the 2020 JEC Innovation Awards for the Scalable Composite Robotic Additive Manufacturing (SCRAM) carbon fiber 3D printing system.

SCRAM is an industrial true 6-axis continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic 3D printing system, enabling the tool-less rapid creation of aerospace grade integrated composite structures.

Key benefit

• Additively manufactured highly reinforced continuous fiber composite parts
• True 6 axis fiber reinforcement tailoring to the load path
• Dramatic reduction in composite part lead time
• Able to create highly integrated, complex, multi-material composite structures
• Innovative composite designs that may not be producible by other methods
