High efficiency in machining parts for the aerospace industry is a hallmark of a CNC machine business that has much to offer in the way of parts with intricate details. Work on parts like the wings or the fuselage on an aircraft demands strict adherence to specific design parameters as well as attention to detail.
It’s important for an aerospace machine shop to invest in technology in order to keep up with the market. Because hardware gets smaller over time, shops have to focus on getting the best out of the machines and staying ahead of the competition through the use of information. Machines with much larger productive capacities tend to be very cost-effective because the business is most likely dealing with the construction of large parts. The margin for error in both speed and accuracy is slim.
High-speed spindles programmed at the appropriate station are where the action begins. Those spindles depend on kilowatt power and the distance metrics. Typically, the higher the wattage, the longer the spindle can work to help create form. Material removal happens in a flash as excess layers are trimmed off to construct the part needed. Larger parts used to take a day or more to finish. The new shop tech knocks that number down into the single digits.
Aerospace machine shop staff has to be skilled in both hardware and software. Go with machine shop firm JBC Machine, Inc., a valuable partner for aircraft components.
