AEROSTRUCTURE
INTRODUCTION
The aerostructure segment covers the manufacture of machinedcomponents from light alloy ribs and spars, titanium struts and pylons through to steel landing gear components.
KYOCERA UNIMERCO specialises in standard and special tool solutions for milling and drilling structure components. From conventional machining to high speed machining of soft alloys, right through to high performance milling of hard metals, we have a solution that will reduce cycle times, improve quality and increase profitability.
Our technical department specialises in bespoke solutions for all sizes of component in any material. The aerostructure market has moved towards monolithic structures that have thin walls and deep pockets. This is where maintaining surface finish and accuracy can cause problems with conventional tooling. Call us for the ultimate engineered solution in these applications.
TOOL EXAMPLES:
|
DRILL
Standard and special performance drills.
One-shot drill negates the need for a spotdrill, thus saving time. Through coolant to evacuate swarf from holes and aid cooling means longer tool life.
Multi-diameter h7 hole tolerance drills available upon request. |
|
PCD ROUTER
PCD tooling for high speed milling of light alloys.
High-speed milling reduces cycle times and allows for efficient machining of thin walls without chatter. Excellent surface finish can be achieved which means higher quality components.
Up to 50 × tool life over solid carbide improves tool economics and reduces the number of tool changes. |
|
STUB UM WAVE TOOL
Solid carbide tools for milling nickel alloys and titanium.
Stub design tools offer high rigidity and can cope with high tooth loads so high feed rates can be used. Wave flute design stabilises chatter, allowing deeper cuts and thus increasing metal removal rates.
Cutting geometry for roughing and finishing means fewer tools and tool changes. C7 coating can significantly extend tool life and allow higher surface speeds. |
|
LONG UM WAVE TOOL
Solid carbide performance tools for hard metals.
Optimised designs for machining hard metals means that higher metal removal rates can be achieved – thus increasing productivity. Special flute design allows for very deep roughing cuts, reducing cycle times.
Cutting geometry for rough and finish machining means less tools are required – ultimately reducing costs. |
