ANCA provides services for aircraft manufacturing based on new composite materials for the aerospace industry

Metal Processing Online Report: Some of ANCA's major customers come from the aviation industry. Typical tools are produced using ANCA tool grinders for the aerospace industry, including drills, end mills, counterbores, engine blades and aerospace bearings. ANCA grinding machines produce a wide range of tools for production parts and assemblies, such as Spirit Aerosystems, aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing, aerospace engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce, General Electric The company, as well as many manufacturers of defense industrial products like Magellan.

New aviation materials

Materials for aircraft are constantly evolving, and more and more alloys and non-metallic materials have recently been used. The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner includes almost 50% of advanced composite materials and is the first major aircraft in the world to use composite materials as the main material for aircraft main structures. This design is mainly for a lighter body, saving at least 20% of fuel, noise reduction, and lower maintenance costs. At the same time, due to the recyclable materials, the exhaust emissions are reduced.

The characteristics of these different aircraft materials vary, prompting US tool manufacturers, such as Precorp and Wichita Precision Tools, to develop new tools for composite materials that have special geometries and are made from special materials.

Occasionally, new aircraft require drilling holes in the composite sandwich of 3-4 layers of different materials, including composite honeycombs, aluminum and titanium alloys. The requirements are not limited and the tolerances are small. Therefore, tool manufacturers must develop new tools for this type of machining.

Precorp has complete resources and expertise for complex processing applications

Precorp USA used our ANCA 24 MX7 and RX7 tool grinders to grind PCD and carbide tools for the aerospace industry. Precorp has a long history of solving the processing problems in the aerospace industry and the automotive industry. Especially for dedicated PCD tools, they have found it particularly suitable for drilling holes in high-strength carbon fiber composites.
