Machining Lathes for Aerospace Industry
Highly specialized lathes for light and large diameter parts
Machining for the aerospace industry
FUEL TANK
TURBINE SHAFTS
LANDING GEARS
MOTOR CASES
Rocket and missile fuel tanks are generally constructed of materials that are lightweight and corrosion resistant. One of the most common materials used is steel, which is traditionally known for its strength and durability1. However, other composite materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP), which is lighter than steel and offers good corrosion resistance, are also used.

Turning, grinding and milling
-
Dust extraction systems
-
Fire extinguishing systems
The rotational speed of a turbine shaft requires extremely precise tolerances in the dimensions of its components. Any deviation could affect balance and efficiency. In addition, the surface finish of the bearing seat must be flawless. Any roughness could generate friction, wear and premature damage.

Large turnarounds
-
Robustness
-
Thermal stability

Multiprocess
-
Turning, grinding and milling
The geometry of the landing gear has very special characteristics: large turning radius due to its T-shape, turning, boring, polishing on a critical part for aircraft safety.

Robustness
-
Thermal stability
-
Multiprocess
Turning a structure such as a jet engine motor presents significant challenges. The accuracy required to machine the parts is critical, as any error could affect the engine's performance. In addition, the complexity of the shapes and the need to maintain tight tolerances make the turning process a real technical challenge.
