CNC solutions for Aerospace: Reliable take off for complex tasks
New demands, new materials, new production technologies - the aerospace industry is facing some fascinating opportunities. However the challenges are also increasing. Broadly, these are the requirements of the Aerospace industry:
- Aero structures: The requests for higher process safety, more productivity and more progress have far reaching consequences for the manufacturing of structural components.
- Engines: High end grinding, milling and turning are the established methods used to manufacture the engine components in an efficient way.
- Composites: Even today, most construction of composites is performed manually. The trend is to speed up this process with automation solutions.
- Assembly: Manufacturing aircraft components requires maximum precision and quality in all process steps. All assembly steps must be 100 percent reproducible.
Siemens covers the complete range of relevant production technologies for the aerospace industry - an important objective - essentially using one standard control platform – Sinumerik 840D and Simatic S7.
SINUMERIK 840D: The first choice for five-axis machining
Lighter, faster, higher, further - these are the clear requirements of the aerospace industry for the aircraft of the future. With SINUMERIK CNC technology, this potential that "takes off" with every project can be brought in use. Special functions implemented in the 840D ensure simple and convenient five-axis machining.
