Scott Francis, editor-in-chief of CompositesWorld, spoke with Derek DeGeest, president at LestaUSA (Tea, S.D., U.S.), at CAMX 2024.
Lesta showcased the company’s partnership with Magnum Venus Products (MVP, Knoxville, Tenn., U.S.) to bring self-learning robotic solutions to the composites industry.
These robots, which have been used in the metals and wood industries for more than two decades, offer automation to address labor shortages.
They are versatile, capable of handling both small- and large-scale applications, including chop and gelcoat spraying.
The robots enable real-time programming and can be used with existing staff, creating career opportunities. They also offer offline programming and optimization options, making them scalable for various composites manufacturing needs.
