Union Robotics Gains Approval From FAA On Steps Towards Type Certification

Union Robotics, the American made dielectric industrial drone manufacturer, has gained acceptance from the FAA towards a Durability & Reliability based Type Certification.

Union Robotics, the American made dielectric industrial drone manufacturer, has gained acceptance from the FAA towards a Durability & Reliability based Type Certification.


The type certification for the Union Robotics Meadowhawk is set forth in issue documents, which establishes the means of compliance. The FAA has accepted Union Robotics means of compliance that have been established as a part of a durability and reliability based Type Certification.

To be eligible for a type certificate, the FAA must find that Union Robotics' type design complies with the certification basis. In addition, the FAA must determine that no feature or characteristic of the aircraft makes it unsafe for the category in which it is certified for operation. Union Robotics has officially applied and is working towards obtaining a FAA Type Certification, a FAA Production Certification, and a FAA Part 135 Operating Certification.

"Union Robotics holds safety as a top priority, ensuring our products meet and are approved by the FAA guidelines is just one important step we take to provide our customers a safe and reliable product." stated Ezekiel Bierschank, President of Union Robotics. "With FAA certifications in place, our customers will be able to use our product with minimal regulatory hurdles and benefit from the knowledge that our aircraft meet the safety guideline standards of the FAA"

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
