Creating Durable Components in Aerospace Manufacturing
Companies involved in aerospace manufacturing are often tasked with producing parts that must withstand punishing environments and forces. A successful aerospace manufacturer understands the variables that impact the machined components in aerospace manufacturing.Intrex Aerospace has machine tools, control systems and knowledge needed to consistently address these manufacturing challenges.
Equipment is a major factor in determining an organization’s ability to consistently maintain the tight tolerances required in aerospace manufacturing programs. Precision machining requires a stable work piece and proper tooling to prevent excess scrap. This often requires multi-axis machining and CNC technology, which can optimize chip formation in a material more quickly and precisely than manual machines. Experience with this type of equipment can allow an aerospace manufacturer to reliably machine complex shapes in metal components.
Multi-axis machines are proving useful in aerospace manufacturing for maintaining programmed repeatable tool path. In addition to producing precise machined components , it also allows for better throughput. The machines are designed to hold and use multiple tools, significantly reducing tooling setup. This allows aerospace manufacturing companies to machine high-quality, precision components with great reliability.
In addition to having the right equipment, reliable aerospace manufacturing companies should understand the material properties of raw material. Aerospace components are made from a mixture of traditional metals (aluminum, CR steel, SS) to more difficult to machine alloys (titanium, TZM, monel, inconel, etc.). These materials machine differently and create machining challenges. Intrex is experienced in most of these materials
