Powerful, Heavy Duty Grinders for Demanding Aerospace Jobs and More
Ironman heavy duty grinders from Walter Surface Technologies are built to meet the large-scale needs and exacting standards of the aerospace, military, naval, energy, transportation and other industries.
Small External Mix Spray Nozzles Coat, Cool, Treat and Paint
Used with water or coolant, 1/8 NPT small external mix atomizing nozzles from EXAIR are an efficient way to evenly cool hot items in an automated process, but they can also be used to coat, treat and paint a variety of products.
Aerospace Shafts Microfinished for Improved Surface Quality
The single-station Microteq CNC microfinishing system from IMPCO can process a family of 68 aerospace control surface actuation shafts to better than 0.1 Ra while creating a functional surface for the component.
Compact, High Precision Milling of Blisks for Aircraft Engines
For high precision milling of blisks for aircraft engines and other large parts, the compact Vertex 100 5-axis vertical machining center from Mitsui Seiki USA can machine workpieces 1,250 mm diameter and 850 mm tall while occupying only 3 m x 4.2 m of shop floor space.
High Speed Machining of Small to Mid-Sized Aluminum Aerospace Parts
The HCR-5000S single-table horizontal machining center from Mazak offers 60 m/min rapid traverse rates, 1G acceleration/deceleration rates in the X and Y-axes and 0.8 G in its Z-axis to significantly shorten overall machining cycle times.
Horizontal Machining of Aerospace Aluminum Structural Components
The next-generation MAG3.EX 5-axis horizontal machining center from Makino has expanded capabilities for processing complex aluminum structural parts for the aerospace industry up to approximately 13 ft long, including wing ribs, bulk heads and beam-type components.
High Laser Power for Robust Part Marking of Aerospace Components
For long-term legibility, reliable part traceability and protection against product forgery throughout the entire product life cycle of aerospace components, the 100 watt FOBA Y.1000 fiber laser from Alltec makes fast, precise and robust engraved marks.
High Productivity Horizontal and Vertical Machining of Aerospace Parts
NHP 4000 and 5000 horizontal machining centers and the compact DNM 4000 vertical machining center from Doosan take more aggressive cuts and are ideal for processing complex parts made of tough-to-machine materials used in aerospace applications.
Vertical Cylindrical Grinder with Pallet Changer for Aerospace Applications
The Taiyo Koki CVG Series Vertical Universal Cylindrical Grinding machine with pallet changer from DMG MORI grinds OD, ID and faces all in one part chucking with guaranteed machine roundness accuracy of less than .00004 in.
Advancing Additive in Aviation
By integrating VERICUT software from CGTech with metal printing technology on a CNC machine tool, 3D-Hybrid Solutions can apply powdered metal or wire feedstock at rates up to 20 lb per hour, then machine the part to precise dimensions on the same machine with no need for secondary fixtures.
Advanced Aerospace Tool Grinding
Perfect for grinding PCD tools used in machining composite materials for aerospace applications, the EDGe-Spark Erosion Power Generator from ANCA achieves an eroded finish with a surface roughness less than 0.2 µm Ra.
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.
