Complex Machining for the Aerospace Industry

Given the importance of safety for the aircraft industry, achieving maximum precision is essential for aerospace manufacturers. Needless to say, cost also plays a major role in determining priorities along the value chain. These two factors are not mutually exclusive however. As the leading supplier of factory automation solutions, FANUC has built its business on just this premise – creating solutions that deliver the ultimate in repeatable precision and accuracy while driving down costs. Ranging from incredibly reliable high-precision CNCs capable of running highly sophisticated multi-axis machines, to machining centres, wire cut EDMs, injection moulding machines and lasers, FANUC manufactures a whole host of solutions that exactly meet this bill. Likewise, to streamline manufacturing processes FANUC robots can be used throughout a production facility to accomplish an extremely diverse range of tasks. Equipped with vision systems and sensors these can also complete jobs requiring extremely high degrees of precision at very high work rates. Sophisticated Power Motion technology also enables the control of entire production lines, regardless of whether metal, plastics or even composite parts such as carbon fibre, prepregs or other resin components are being processed.
