Aeroespacial
Os materiais de alta resistência e simultaneamente leves são especialmente importantes no setor aeroespacial. Graças às inovadoras combinações de materiais, o peso pode ser reduzido ainda mais, a resistência geral e à corrosão podem ser aumentadas, e é possível simplificar a montagem com um design integrativo. Enquanto componentes estruturais de alumínio, titânio ou aços de alta resistência são processados em centros de usinagem ou máquinas tipo gantry, a usinagem na montagem final é realizada por máquinas conduzidas manualmente, por unidades de avanço de perfuração ou robôs.
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.
