Moog Arvada facility
Moog opened a new facility in Arvada, Colorado to support
its integrated space vehicle production. The added space
allows multiple spacecraft to be integrated concurrently.
Arvada was selected because of its proximity to a highly
skilled workforce and industry customers.
Moog’s power and data sector expanded its manufacturing
facility in Galax, Virginia to accommodate increased
production for printed circuit boards. The site manufactures
and assembles rigid and flexible printed circuit boards and
other proprietary hardware for customers in the electronics,
communications, and military segments.
FULLY ELECTRIC COMPACT
WHEEL LOADER
Moog engineers collaborated with Komatsu to build a fully
electric compact wheel loader machine that features
Moog’s intelligent machine electrification system. Komatsu
provided the vehicle-level design and assembly, including
structural configurations. Komatsu is an industry-leading
manufacturer and supplier of equipment, technologies
and services for the construction, forklift, mining, industrial,
and forestry markets. By integrating multiple subsystems
for power management, motion control, connectivity,
and automation, the Moog system enables customers like
Komatsu to develop differentiated vehicle offerings and
bring next-generation machines to life, while decreasing
development costs and the time to bring products to market.
