-- Aerospace manufacturers are one of the most demanding customer bases for DMG MORI's high-end machine tools.

Traveling by plane has become an indispensable part of business travellers and people's daily lives. In particular, the importance of personal travel has been growing. Based on this, aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus, expect that the international aviation industry will need approximately 28,000 new passenger aircraft in the next 20 years to meet this growth demand. Machine tool companies will of course also benefit from such a market environment.

Processing technology plays a fundamental role in the entire aerospace production process. Aerospace manufacturers are one of the most demanding customer bases for DMG MORI's high-end machine tools. Almost all engine and fuselage parts need to be machined. Other parts cannot perform their functions without turning, milling and drilling. Moreover, DMG MORI's laser processing technology and ultrasonic processing technology have been successfully applied in aerospace production.

The intensive production methods of the aerospace industry, the innovative engine structure design and the application of new materials and efficient materials all place higher demands on the machine tool industry. At its core is the economical processing of titanium and nickel alloys, aluminum alloys or advanced composite materials.

From this we can derive direct requirements for processing technology. The most important thing is that the complete machining trend of multi-tasking machines is more intense, such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding in one setup. Not only that, but users also want to form a complete (automable) project for metal cutting, including pre-processing programming and simulation, as well as measurement cycles and in-machine monitoring during machining to maximize process reliability and stability.

Of course, all of these metal cutting processes need to meet ever-increasing precision and complexity requirements. DMG MORI offers application solutions for aerospace processing technology.

The duoBLOCK ^® series, in particular the complete machining of the milling machine table, is the best-selling model of the DMG MORI in the aerospace industry.

For very large aerospace parts, DMG MORI's DMF series of moving column machining centers are the preferred machine tools.

If a 5-axis complete machining of large aerospace workpieces is required, the DMG MORI gantry machine with a maximum stroke of 6,000 mm provides plenty of room.

For small and complex parts, it is machined with DMU monoBLOCK ^® and DMU eVo series 5-axis universal machines. The CNC technology can adapt to any workpiece size requirement.

The fuselage structural members and integral components and fixtures are the most important metal cutting parts in the aircraft fuselage. The processing of trusses, ribs and stringers is usually a one-piece, integral milling. Moreover, riveting technology is the most common connection method, so all components (including CFK parts) require drilling.

Wing Cutting technology is still very important for wing production: ribs, trusses and fasteners are made of metal. In addition, a large number of rivet holes and contouring of complex geometric components of the moving parts are processed. However, due to the increased use of CFK materials, the processing requirements for these parts will be reduced.

There are two metal hatch door production method, and the ribs or trusses to processing (investment) casting further processing. For CFK hatches, the joints are made of metal (titanium alloy) and can only be formed from metal.

The tail fin CFK has been applied to all tails. Only the joints, the reinforcement and the leading edge are made and processed from metal materials. However, all parts require a boring.

Landing gear still use high-alloy steel, the future tends to use titanium alloys. These materials all need to be machined. From the processing point of view, aircraft engine parts are very different in material, and the materials in the high temperature zone and the low temperature zone are very different. Parts in the low temperature zone, such as the low pressure compressor to the middle of the high pressure and high pressure compressor, the material mainly uses titanium alloy except for the aluminum alloy, and the high temperature part of the engine core from the last stage high pressure compressor must use the nickel alloy with good heat resistance and Cobalt alloy material.

In addition to machining, laser processing technology has begun to be used in engine production. It is mainly used to process cold vents in turbine blades and burner components. The production of shaped holes is mainly through laser drilling (laser ablation injectors).
