Aerospace and Composites

In the aerospace industry, materials that are both high-strength and lightweight is the key. By making use of new combinations of materials, weight can be reduced further, strength and corrosion resistance can be increased and assembly can be simplified by using an integrated design. Whereas structural parts made of aluminium, titanium or high strength steel are machined on machining centres or gantry machines, final assembly machining is carried out by handheld machines, drill feed units or robots.

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.
