Luft- und Raumfahrt
Hochfeste und gleichzeitig leichte Materialien sind in der Luftfahrt von zentraler Bedeutung. Durch neuartige Materialkombinationen lässt sich das Gewicht weiter senken, die Festigkeit und Korrosionsbeständigkeit erhöhen sowie eine Vereinfachung der Montage durch integrative Bauweise erreichen. Während Strukturbauteile aus Aluminium, Titan oder hochfesten Stählen auf Bearbeitungszentren oder Portalmaschinen bearbeitet werden, erfolgt die Bearbeitung in der Endmontage durch handgeführte Maschinen, Bohrvorschubeinheiten oder Roboter.
Part machining
In part manufacturing, the machining of parts is stationary, i.e. parts are cut in a machine in several clamping positions. While small to medium cubic parts can be machined on a machining centre, large parts require special gantry machines.
Montagem final
Na montagem final de uma aeronave, devido ao tamanho do objeto, até hoje trabalha-se com máquinas conduzidas manualmente. Nas chamadas Final Assembly Lines (FAL - Linhas de montagem final), por exemplo, são aplicados furos de rebite no revestimento externo da fuselagem da aeronave. As ferramentas são conduzidas com elementos guia especiais.
