Story

In the aerospace industry, speed and reliability are of the utmost importance. Electroimpact’s relationship with FANUC began in 2004 when they were tasked with figuring out fiber placement. At that time, there was no interpolating of outputs with respect to CNC motion, but FANUC allowed Electroimpact an inroad so they could code that interface themselves. Because of this, Electroimapct was enabled to push the entire Automated Fiber Placement industry forward.

We’ve had great success with their equipment. It's really reliable. I like working with the engineers in Japan and the local engineers in America. Without that relationship with FANUC, we probably wouldn’t have been able to drag this industry forward.
