Aeronautical machining: types and applications | EONSI
Find out about the machining solutions for the aeronautical industry at EONSI, a company specialising in the machining and manufacture of parts.
Aeronautical machining
The aeronautical industry has experienced a dramatic development as a strategic sector in the current industrial panorama. Parallel to this growth, there has been a huge demand for companies with cutting-edge technology as well as for professionals specialised in the design, construction and maintenance of aircraft. Companies such as EONSI, specialists in aeronautical machining, have been able to provide a solution to the needs in this very specific field with a highly qualified and competitive professional service.
Aeronautical machining is key in the production of components and equipment necessary to meet the demands of the sector. The new technologies implemented in specialised machining workshops such as EONSI, allow the manufacture of high precision parts and components, in various sizes, customised finishes, competitive prices and minimum production times, subject to the most demanding quality controls throughout the process.
The main machining solutions for the aeronautical industry
Machining companies have adapted to the requirements and demands of the aeronautical industry. The machining process has evolved considerably, among other things due to the implementation of Computer Numerical Control in machinery – CNC machining – by means of CAD and CAM. These technological advances allow all types of specific parts to be made and the necessary modifications to be made during the manufacturing process.
At the same time, the research and development of new high performance materials such as super alloys or high performance alloys, different types of steel and metals in general, has been a challenge for the metal-mechanical industry as they are used mainly for very demanding special applications such as those in the aeronautical sector.
EONSI has specialised in providing answers and machining solutions for aeronautics. From chassis components, turbines, engines, fuselage structures, landing gear systems, to cylinders or wheels, all with cutting-edge technology, precision tools and quality materials to meet the technical specifications required by our customers.
Design, preparation and machining of parts for the aeronautical sector.
The aeronautical sector is highly demanding in the machining of structural parts, such as the fuselage or wings, engine components or landing gear systems. In addition, the materials used for their manufacture have specific technical characteristics that make their manufacture difficult. The variety of types of metals and alloys, from titanium to aluminium and different steels, requires state-of-the-art technology and highly qualified professionals for aeronautical machining.
The manufacturing process begins with the design of the part in the CAD/CAM environment. Once translated, the generated code is passed to the CNC machine in charge of starting the machining process. This type of CNC-based machine tool allows several tasks such as milling, turning and polishing to be carried out on the same machine. CNC machining allows for extreme accuracy, increasing productivity and shortening production time.
The entire process is carried out with exhaustive quality controls, from the choice of material, which in the case of aeronautical machining is subjected to special conditions, to the analysis of all machined parts with strict metrological control by the Quality Control laboratory. Each part has a unique identification number that identifies the production process to which it has been subjected, according to the technical and quality specifications required in an industry as demanding as that of aeronautical machining.
