Exechon, LLC, a joint-venture comprising Abu Dhabi-based Injaz National, US global security and aerospace company Lockheed Martin, and Sweden-based Tecgrant AB, introduced its XMini robotic system at the recently held IDEX 2017, the international defence conference in Abu Dhabi, at the Lockheed Martin stand, in booth 01-A11, from February 19 to 23, 2017.
The XMini is a robotic, next-generation intelligent portable machine system that uses Parallel Kinematics Machining (PKM) to support industrial automated manufacturing capabilities. As a stand-alone tool or as part of an existing production system, the XMini merges the flexibility and high dynamics of the articulated-arm robot with the stiffness and accuracy of the rigid machine tool. The device, which is made of carbon fibre, can be taken apart and reassembled inside spaces traditionally inaccessible to machines or people, such as an aircraft wing box.Exechon, LLC, a joint-venture comprising Abu Dhabi-based Injaz National, US global security and aerospace company Lockheed Martin, and Sweden-based Tecgrant AB, introduced its XMini robotic system at the recently held IDEX 2017, the international defence conference in Abu Dhabi, at the Lockheed Martin stand, in booth 01-A11, from February 19 to 23, 2017.#
The XMini is the first product developed by the company, and establishes an engineering and manufacturing centre for advancing this technology in the aerospace, defence, automotive sectors, as well as other industrial areas. The facility is set to open at Masdar Institute, a research-oriented university in Abu Dhabi, in 2017.
Kalle Neumann, Exechon chief executive officer said, “Exechon is based in the UAE to nurture local innovation and accelerate the expansion of industrial automation and robotics manufacturing in the region. The XMini on display at IDEX is built locally in Abu Dhabi to support international aerospace, defence, and automotive markets around the world.”
Rick Edwards, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin missiles and fire control, said, “We are excited to celebrate this milestone in the partnership with local experts to develop the XMini, which will enhance local manufacturing capabilities and create long-term economic benefits. The XMini reflects Lockheed Martin’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s goal of becoming the leading supplier of cutting-edge, automated manufacturing technology.” (GK)
