Additional discussions will address case-studies on the ability to use small agile modules that can perform The Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKM) developed since 1985 by Karl-Erik Neumann, starting with the Tricept 600, continuing with the Tricept 605, 805, and 9000, and the new “balljointless” Exechon X300, X700, and X1100, ending up in the latest “platformless” XT300S, XT700S, and XT1100S, has always been striving to give aerospace manufacturer a solution that utilize the flexibility and cost benefits of articulated arm robots, the performance of CNC machines, as well as the efficiency of special machines. Exechon was founded around this dream in 2004, and the first “balljointless” X700 machine saw daylight summer 2006, and since then the technology has been licensed out to twenty one (21) Manufacturer and Integrators worldwide.
