A low weight combined with maximum safety are the key characteristics of modern aircraft. They are therefore put on a 'structural diet' consisting of the latest materials such as fibre composites, aluminium, titanium and super alloys. However, these materials are extremely demanding when it comes to their machining, which can only be carried out economically using the latest tool and machining concepts.
As one of the leading suppliers of cutting tools and machine equipment, CERATIZIT is a reliable partner for the machining of demanding components.
We deploy powerful tooling solutions to achieve optimum parameters in the machining of engine mounts, frames and wing ribs. Due to their high material removal rates, these solutions keep costs down and use the latest cutting material grades to achieve maximum service lives and fast processes.
→ Thin-walled aluminium structures made from solid or forged raw parts
→ Connection component between the aircraft structure and engine
→ Titanium structures in parts of the wing or fuselage, made from solid or forged raw parts
Turbines provide the thrust required for the aerospace industry. The same applies to the cutting tools, so we are now delivering solutions that enable even the most innovative materials to be machined to the highest levels of accuracy, quality and efficiency.
→ Housing of the cold part of the aircraft engine (fan). Typical material: Titanium
→ Blade integrated disc made from titanium or super alloys
→ Housing of the hot part of the aircraft engine. Typical material: Inconel718
→ Blades made from titanium or super alloys in the hot and cold part of the engine
High-alloy steels and titanium materials are frequently used in landing gear. In our role as a full service provider, and to ensure that everything works as planned, we have a vast range of tooling solutions for turning, milling and drilling applications, not to mention a selection of controllable tools.
→ Largest part of the landing gear, preferred material: 300M
→ Supporting element on the landing gear, preferred material: titanium
Even the most modern aircraft assembly line contains elements of manufacturing. In order to optimally map the diverse material combinations and manual production steps, we design individual solutions that are tailored to each process step in terms of carbide, geometry and coating and are reproducible at any time.
✔️ Needs-oriented ✔️ Custom-made ✔️ Process-optimised ✔️ Individual ✔️ Material-oriented
We test a variety of tool characteristics and tailor them to your machining requirements so that you receive a tool that perfectly meets the conditions of your process. Whether it's design, cutting edge geometry or coatings – every tool is individually designed for you and made in our factory to strict quality guidelines.
