Temple Allen Industries (TAI) designs and manufactures EMMA™ (Easily Manipulated Mechanical Arm), a 100% pneumatic mechanical arm used to deploy a variety of pneumatic tools. EMMA bears the weight of the tool, absorbs vibration, and applies contact force to the workpiece, thus eliminating many of the risks associated with manual processes while improving finish quality and consistency. The first EMMA was installed in 2004 at The Boeing Company’s Renton facility to perform surface preparation on 737NG rudders.
