所述机器人用于将雷达吸收材料（RAM）涂覆到用于制造战略/战术飞机不同部件的NOMEX玻璃纤维蜂窝芯上。该机器人采用点对点编程方法，在4英尺×8英尺的NOMEX玻璃纤维蜂窝芯板上覆盖一层。安装在单轨轨道上的传感器触发核心定位，然后将其移动到下一站。以前，这种涂层操作是由三名工人手动完成的。机器人的使用使每个核心节省了0.85小时。机器人和配套设备的完整价格为15.5万美元。

THE ROBOT DESCRIBED IS USED FOR COATING RADAR ABSORBING MATERIAL (RAM) ONTO NOMEX FIBER GLASS HONEY COMB CORES USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE STRATEGIC/TACTICAL AIRCRAFTS. THE ROBOT COATS 4 FEET X 8 FEET SHEETS OF NOMEX FIBER GLASS HONEY COMB CORES USING A POINT-TO-POINT PROGRAMMING METHOD. SENSORS INSTALLED IN THE MONORAIL TRIGGERED THE CORES TO BE POSITIONED AND THEN MOVED THEM TO THE NEXT STATION. PREVIOUSLY, THIS OPERATION OF COATING WAS DONE MANUALLY BY THREE WORKERS. THE USE OF THE ROBOT PRODUCED A SAVINGS OF 0.85 HOURS PER CORE. THE COMPLETE PRICE OF THE ROBOT AND THE SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT WAS $155,000.
