Koops, Inc. is Awarded North American Distributor Status by FANUC Robotics America, Inc.

Robotics TechnologyFanuc Robotics, one of the world's largest and well established robotics companies has awarded North American Distributor status to Koops Inc. Koops Inc. has now reached another level of expertise with complete access to training on the latest applications, methods and robotics technology. From simple workstations to fully automated systems, let us apply our know-how and common sense approach to your special application with the latest and most cost effective solution.

Advanced Robotic Laser Technology

robotic laserThe technology, a robotic laser stripping system, is capable of stripping paint from a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter blade in less than two hours - a time savings of 75% over hand-sanding. The laser system is so precise that it can remove only the top layer of black paint, leaving the yellow primer intact below and not damaging the blade substrate. "When it was done by hand, technicians wore hazmat suits, worked in sweltering heat with toxic stripping chemicals," said Mike Gnam, NCMS Project Manager. "Even a small mistake could result in irreparable damage to a $110,000 helicopter blade. This elegant laser system removes that risk. It's going to save the Department of Defense about 80% in blade refurbishing costs, not to mention the huge time savings. And for Koops, it represents a valuable market opportunity, since the technology has far, far more potential uses than just taking the paint off military helicopter blades."

Automated Laser Ablation System

Laser Abalation SystemThe first Automated Laser Ablation system in the United States was the focus of a ribbon cutting ceremony at a Navy base in North Carolina. The system is in full operation removing the coatings from the primary rotor blades of the C53 chopper when undergoing maintenance and refurbishing activities. The first of its kind, the automated system was recognized as a major technology initiative that supports the United States defense effort.
