Machining the main cylinder

Precision landing achieved in the machining of titanium and high-alloy steels

The entire weight of an aircraft rests on the landing gear. The main cylinder is the focal point of the landing gear. This heavily loaded component is generally constructed from titanium or high-alloy steels. However, it is not just the materials that are demanding; the components themselves are extremely complex. In addition to the tool technology, an optimum machining strategy is also needed.
