航空宇宙
高強度でありながら軽量な素材は、航空機において中心的な重要性を持っています。新しい材料の組み合わせにより、重量をさらに減らし、強度と耐食性を高め、統合的な製造デザインによって組み立てを簡素化できます。アルミニウム、チタン、または高強度鋼で作られた構造部品は、マシニングセンターや門型マシンで加工されますが、最終的な組み立ては、ハンドガイドマシン、ドリルフィードユニット、またはロボットによって行われます。
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.
Solutions for final assembly
Even today, handheld machines are still used in the final assembly of aircraft, due to their size. For example, in final assembly lines (FAL), rivet holes are made in the outer skin of the aircraft’s fuselage. The tools are equipped with special guiding elements.
