Unique Control Systems for Ground Services and Equipment
In the aerospace industry—whether spacecraft, airplanes, or military—there’s no room for error. Each new system design is built for a unique project that requires its own set of very specific, very precise standards that, if not properly met, could result in lives being lost. That’s why aerospace equipment manufacturers need an engineering partner with experience and a proven track record of successful solutions. In this episode of Evolution in Controls, John Jackson, Sales and Business Development Manager at Evolution, introduces the Aerospace solution group—a specialized unit that designs and engineers control systems for aerospace ground services and equipment.
Ground services and equipment are systems and machines that aid in the assembly of aircraft, not in the manufacturing. Despite this type of equipment never leaving the ground, precise engineering is undeniable, given the scale at which spacecraft are built and the extreme level of safety they require. The Aerospace solution group specifically provides controls for ground equipment, usually tailoring a control solution to an existing equipment design provided by the aerospace manufacturer. These solutions are unique, conceptually designed from the ground up by the Motioneers, who work closely with the manufacturers to finalize a best-fit control solution.
In this episode, John dives into detail on a few aerospace projects the solution group has completed, including SIRC stands that help facilitate the assembly of large planes. As a massive, mobile machine, it features 32 servo stands and safety features designed in close collaboration with the manufacturer’s dedicated safety team.
The future of the aerospace industry is bright—for spacecraft, aeronautical, and military aerospace systems—with the epicenter of design and manufacturing in Huntsville, Alabama. The Evolution Aerospace solution group is right there with these aerospace leaders, providing controls and safety that everyone will rely on for the successful manufacturing of spacecraft.
