Fully Automated Sawing of Complex Angles on Structural Material
The fully automatic AV-2026NC bandsaw from Cosen Saws cuts complex angles on structural material either on the front end, the back end or both. It is capable of making a bull nose angle cut, which manufacturers often use to make bracing parts, as well as making opposing angles, parallelograms, polygons, and straight cuts.
Robotic Systems Integration for Aircraft Manufacturing
Large-scale automation from Genesis Systems features KUKA robots and mobility equipment for non-destructive inspection, laser processing, mobile robotic platforms, IIoT connectivity for press tending and cell control, and manipulators used in commercial aerospace and aircraft applications.
Metal-Spinning Out-of-Round Engine Lip Skins for Aircraft Engine Housings
These custom machines were built to spin-form lip skins out-of-round by 8½ in to 9 in for the nacelle on the engines of Boeing 737 Max and 777X aircraft. They hold tight tolerances that are verified by thermo-imaging cameras and fed back by the CNC for accuracy tracking and in-process adjustments of the heating torch.
It IS Rocket Science: A Workcell for Forming Aircraft Components
This press manufacturer was challenged to build a sophisticated system that could form aircraft parts with complex geometries in a low volume, high mix production environment, using a fully automated die handling system and the largest staging table of its kind in the world for continuous production. The result? Die change time reduced from two hours to ten minutes.
Three Ways to Optimize the Automated Brush Deburring Process
Want to reduce costs, improve process consistency, simplify part assembly, increase edge strength and create a more uniform finish? A wide range of operations are good candidates for a switch to automated deburring, and following these steps can help optimize the process for efficiency, quality and productivity.
