LADSON, SC, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TIGHITCO, Inc., a leader in advanced composite structures and assemblies and thermal insulation solutions, has introduced a next-generation automated balancing technology that enhances the precision and repeatability of aerospace structures. The advanced system integrates robotics, closed-loop sensing, and real-time measurement analytics to deliver exceptionally consistent balance characteristics across a wide range of lift surfaces and rotating assemblies.

Developed by TIGHITCO’s automation team, the new process replaces a traditionally manual, variable-prone operation with a controlled, data-driven solution. This improvement allows TIGHITCO to tighten tolerances, reduce rework, and increase throughput—ultimately enabling the company to meet demanding customer schedules without extending lead time or compromising quality.

The technology is designed to support aerospace structures found in commercial, defense, and rotorcraft platforms, where precise balance is essential to performance, safety, and long-term reliability. By eliminating variation in a key step of component manufacturing, TIGHITCO strengthens its ability to support both legacy programs and emerging next-generation platforms.

“This technology changes the landscape for how aerospace structures are manufactured and exacting tolerances are maintained with absolute efficiency at TIGHITCO,” said Daniel Hinson, VP of Quality and Engineering at TIGHITCO, Inc. “It demonstrates the strength of our team and our ongoing commitment to delivering measurable value to our customers.”
“This innovation highlights our leadership in advanced composites and our drive to remain ahead of the industry, while exceeding customer expectations” said Mark Withrow, President and CEO of TIGHITCO. “It represents a significant leap forward for our organization. This isn’t just a refinement of our process. It expands what we can deliver to our expanding customer base. The team’s dedication to innovation continues to set TIGHITCO apart from our competitors.”
