Archival pictures of the Integrated Structural Assembly of Advanced Composites (ISAAC) In Clean Room in Building 1232A.  Integrated Structural Assembly of Advanced Composites (ISAAC) is a state of the art composite manufacturing robot. ISAAC was purchased from Electroimpact and installed in 2015. NASA Langley was the first NASA Center to receive this technology and the third manufacturing facility in the world to receive an ISAAC. The robot has 8 degrees of freedom and an accuracy rate of +/- .05". ISAAC also has several detachable end effectors, making it a versatile machine. Similar robots have become very popular in the automotive and commercial flight industries. At NASA Langley Research Center, ISAAC supports research on the design and manufacturing of composite parts.
