Cutting and welding for  aeronautics and space

The aeronautics and space industry is one of the largest users of composite materials. The advantages including great rigidity, lightness, flexibility of design and fatigue strength of composite materials including carbon fibre, aluminium honeycomb and nomex, thermoplastic composites, various fibres and prepregs, are generating an ever-increasing interest from manufacturers and major clients. The high degree of innovation demanded by all players in the supply chain requires manufacturers to develop increasingly robust, automated, and precise assembly and finishing solutions.

In addition to the assembly and welding of various aircraft parts and structures, we are pioneers in the applications of ultrasonic cutting and machining of composite elements for the aeronautics and space industries.

Are your needs beyond our standards? We create solutions. As such, we develop and optimise our cutting and welding processes to suit your specifications. Beyond our standard solutions, we can provide you with manual solutions, embeddable on existing machines and robots or fully customised with specially designed machines. Our skills also allow us to offer you a very advanced level of automation and robotisation for perfect integration into your production lines.

Examples of aeronautical cutting and welding processes and applications: ultrasonic machining of aeronautical ferrules, ultrasonic surfacing and composite machining for structural parts, ultrasonic welding of aeronautical clips and stiffeners, customized machines for cutting and stacking carbon fibre layers, etc.
