Loop Technology
Loop Technology are specialists in industrial automation technology and robotics. They design and build automated systems for the high value manufacturing sector delivering improved production rates and product quality.
The company are trusted partners of several high value manufacturing catapult centres and global robot manufacturers. Their vast experience in machine vision, industrial robotics and motion control systems allows them to create advanced solutions for niche manufacturing problems across many industries.
Their expertise includes automated preforming for composite structures, robotic arms for confined spaces such as aircraft wing boxes, automated laser cleaning, robotic machining, and vision-based inspection.
Loop Technology recently announced a partnership with Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems and AMRC that will see their automated composite preforming technology, FibreLINE, used to drive innovation in advanced manufacturing and address the growing demand for lighter aircraft whilst meeting the aviation industry’s commitment to decarbonisation. Moreover, a separate FibreLINE configuration is used at the National Composite Centre in Bristol in efforts to deliver multi-sector automated deposition capability for composite material.
Loop Technology additionally have their own AdAPT cell (Advanced Automated Preforming Technology) at their headquarters in Dorchester, demonstrating this pioneering technology that offers a radical increase in production rates for composite aerostructures, automotives and more.
