Automated Assembly Systems for Rocket Engines and Space Components

Bisiach & Carrù pioneers advanced robotic solutions for the automated assembly of rocket engines and space propulsion systems, supporting the growing space economy with high-precision, high-reliability manufacturing technologies.

Precision Engineering for Space Propulsion

We developed a 7-axis Rocket Engine and Igniter Manipulator capable of assembling the engine and igniter of the Vega C (Avio) and Ariane 6 (ESA) rockets with unparalleled accuracy.

Handling heavy aerospace components – The system can precisely manage 3,500 kg parts with a 3.5-meter diameter.
Ultra-precise assembly – The engine is inserted into the rocket body with a clearance of just 0.05 mm, ensuring a perfect fit.
Fully automated mobility – The entire manipulator is AGV-compatible, allowing it to move autonomously within the production plant.
