Robot cuts F-35 bolt installation from hours to minutes
Original: F-35 factory robot in US slashes bolt-installation work from hours to just minutes
A factory robot deployed at a US F-35 production facility is dramatically speeding up aircraft assembly, completing bolt-installation tasks that previously took workers hours in just a few minutes. The automation is being highlighted as an example of how robotics is reshaping defence manufacturing, cutting labour time and improving consistency in building the fighter jet.
Why now: Interest in defence manufacturing automation and the F-35 programme is high, and a dramatic time-saving demonstration draws attention.
