Future is here

Lilium announced this week it is preparing the installation of its propulsion units for its prototype Jet, reports a press release. They will begin coming off the assembly line in Q2, to be used for testing. Lilium is collaborating with Schnaithmann Maschinenbau GmbH, the German automation and robotics company which is also supporting the company with workflow design, jigs and tools for Lilium’s aerostructures for the final assembly line. Located near the automotive hub of Stuttgart, Schnaithmann is a global leader in designing and supplying automated, scalable industrial solutions with long-standing partnerships in high-volume industries, especially automotive. Jan Dr. Nowacki, Lilium Senior VP of Manufacturing, commented, “The electric jet engine is a unique, core technology, critical for aircraft performance. With the support of Schnaithmann, we look forward to implementing state-of-the-art manufacturing solutions capable of being scaled-up and replicated for high-volume production.”  Gerd Maier, Schnaithmann Member of the Management Board, Sales and Marketing , added, “With nearly 40 years of experience in supplying automation technology to global industries, we are proud to participate in the industrialisation of the Lilium Jet. The eVTOL industry has the potential to change aviation in a positive, sustainable way, and we are delighted to be able to play a key role in helping Lilium scale up towards high-volume production.” The release explains, “The electric jet propulsion unit is a core company technology and key to providing the required performance, unit economics and comfort for regional air mobility. Consisting of electric jet engines integrated into the propulsion mounting system that forms the rear part of the wings and front aerofoils, the Lilium Jet’s unique propulsion system will provide advantages in payload, aerodynamic efficiency and a reduced noise profile, while also providing thrust vector control to maneuver the Lilium Jet through every phase of flight.” In 2023, following successful testing of engine systems, including the fan, stator and e‑motor, Lilium assembled the first complete Jet electric engine on a pre-series line. The e‑motor has been designed to deliver industry-leading power density of over 100kW from a system weighing just over 4kg. Major subassemblies of the propulsion unit are delivered to Lilium by a team of qualified suppliers including Honeywell in alliance with DENSO (e‑motor), Aeronamic (fan), and SKF Group (electric motor bearings). Meanwhile, Lilium will be releasing its Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2023 Shareholder Letter on Tuesday (February 27th). The company is hosting a conference call at 8 am EST.

MR4Weld is the first robotic mobile solution for shipbuilding At the Automatica exhibition, two Italian companies Comau and Fincantieri presented the result of their cooperation - the mobile robot MR4Weld (Mobile Robot for Welding) for automating labor-intensive welding operations in the open air. The companies also extended their strategic agreement on the application of technology, digitalization and innovation in the framework of advanced mobile robotic solutions that will increase the speed of production and the well-being of workers by automating traditionally manual processes. In 2021, Comau and Fincantieri signed an agreement of intent, the purpose of which was to develop prototypes of robotic solutions for welding steel and the subsequent construction of a series of machines. After the successful completion of prototype production tests, the directors of the companies signed an updated agreement that provides for the development of additional mobile robotic machines and solutions for unstructured environments. The MR4Weld mobile robot will be used in the future at Fincantieri shipyards for autonomous welding of steel structures with a possible 3-fold increase in productivity compared to the manual process. It is a 6-axis industrial with a high load capacity, equipped with a welding torch, which is mounted on a tracked chassis and equipped with an integrated machine vision system for autonomous detection of welding seams. It is reported that the robot guarantees higher welding quality while reducing ergonomic risks, contributing to the transformation of the production process in shipbuilding by providing greater flexibility and increased safety in addition to reducing overall costs. Designed to move in all conditions and work collaboratively with staff, the MR4Weld system can be easily operated by a single operator during movement and welding. The system also uses digital tools to collect welding and production data, which can be used to register welded joints. Since the MR4Weld system fully complies with current safety standards, it can be used without fences on each of the numerous decks that make up the vessel. Fincantieri and Comau jointly filed a European patent application for specific technological features of MR4Weld. The advanced solution can also be easily integrated into Comau's digital infrastructure, further increasing the productivity and profitability of the robotic system.

Automation solutions company Comau and Leonardo Helicopters have jointly developed and are testing a powerful, self-adaptive robotic solution to autonomously inspect helicopter blades measuring up to 7m (23ft) long. The cutting-edge solution ensures higher quality and greater flexibility without sacrificing precision or repeatability. Comau’s intelligent robot perceives and sees its surroundings, calculates its decision making, and intuitively optimizes the end-to-end inspection processes. The increasing push for faster processes, better control, and higher quality in the aerospace industry necessitates a new generation of advanced automation designed to automate complex processes that until a short time ago could only be done manually. When testing critical structures such as helicopter blades, the potential benefits of automation increase exponentially, as robotic inspection grants accuracy as well as efficiency. They also ensure standardization of and full compliance with the testing process by objectively completing each assigned task.
