Case Study: McStarlite achieves consistent, high-quality aircraft engine lipskin polishing with Robotmaster

McStarlite reduces polishing cycle time with Robotmaster

McStarlite, a leading producer of aircraft engine nacelle lipskins, faced challenges with its manual polishing process which was time-consuming, physically demanding on workers, and resulted in inconsistent part quality. Seeking to automate this operation, the company turned to Robotmaster offline robot programming software to address these issues and meet stringent aerospace industry requirements.

By implementing Robotmaster software to program a KUKA robot, McStarlite achieved a highly consistent and accurate automated polishing solution. The results included a dramatic reduction in cycle times, the elimination of part rework, and the ability to repurpose manual laborers as robot operators. Robotmaster enabled McStarlite to meet production demand for Airbus, improve profitability, and provide a better working environment for its employees.
