“To see these robots now in the flesh with the technology that Loop Technology put on the end of them is absolutely fantastic.”

In partnership with FANUC UK, Loop Technology are pushing aerospace automation to a new scale, using one of the only robot platforms globally capable of handling FibreFORM end effectors at aerospace mould size. Designed to handle fragile carbon fibre with minimal stress, the FibreFORM system lifts and places material in a single, controlled movement – unlocking accuracy, repeatability, and true next-generation composite layup.
