MSP will provide technology to automate the production of components being used by Orbex as it works towards its first launch of Orbex Prime from Sutherland Spaceport.

Based in North East England, MSP’s primary goal is to automate key areas of the CNC machining process to optimise CNC machine productivity, remove setup and alignment errors to prevent parts from being machined incorrectly and scrapped as a result. The savings in wasted material and energy this provides has resulted in MSP becoming a key player in multiple Net Zero strategies for leading manufacturers worldwide.

We’re delighted to support Orbex with its mission for high precision and sustainable CNC manufacturing. Our products eliminate manual errors from the end-to-end CNC machining process to ensure the production of right-first-time parts every time. We deliver automation in the form of automated probe setup and calibration, automated machine capability checking, automated part alignment and on-machine inspection for accurate and fast processes designed to create perfect parts.
