Excellence in Aerospace: Our Work with NASA and GM
Owens Industries showcases our dedication to precision CNC machining aerospace parts through our collaboration with NASA and General Motors on the Robonaut project.
Project Overview: Robonaut Bicep Assembly
As an aerospace CNC machine shop, we were entrusted with manufacturing a bicep assembly for the Robonaut, a humanoid robot built to perform in the harsh conditions of the moon. This project demanded exceptional precision and strict adherence to NASA’s rigorous specifications.
Key Challenges
- Machining a perfect fit with other robotic components
- Functionality in extreme lunar conditions
- Mobility for construction and exploration tasks
Our Solution
Using advanced 5-axis CNC machines, our expert machinists created the bicep assembly with precision tolerances measured to the micrometer. Our expertise in aerospace precision machining enabled us to meet the project's exacting standards and requirements.
Project Outcome
NASA praised our work and commissioned two more bicep assemblies, highlighting our reputation for producing CNC-machined aerospace parts to the highest standards.
At Owens Industries, we bring this same level of precision and commitment to every project, ensuring your aerospace components meet the highest quality and performance standards.
