航空和航天
在航空领域,采用具有高强度的轻质材料是关键所在。通过利用创新的材料组合,可以进一步减轻重量,提高强度和耐腐蚀性,并通过一体化结构设计,简化装配流程。虽然由铝、钛或高强度钢材料制造的结构组件是在加工中心或者龙门机床上进行加工完成,但最终的总装流程则是通过手持式设备、手电钻或者机器人实施。
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.
