Aircraft construction

In an era dominated by jet planes, propeller aircraft seem somewhat nostalgic. Aerobatics, such as Martin Albrecht, member of the national aerobatics team, however, give impressive proof with their flights that there is certainly nothing nostalgic to their activities. The blades are milled from wooden blocks on our high-quality CNC-machines according to CAD/CAM specifications.

The refined HSTM 150 HD places us in a position where we can offer a fully-automated processing centre to the manufacturers of turbine and compressor blades for the aerospace industry. A completely integrated workpiece storage and changer system allows for the entirely self-sufficient operation of the line, meaning that it can be operated unmanned for several hours.

At first, “a deliberate investment in future capacities” sounds daring, above all when it refers to a big CNC-milling unit including robot systems. For MN Coil, an important supplier of the automotive and aircraft industry, however, it constitutes a well-considered step to reach a position where they can react to changes in the market at any given time and ensure economic stability.

In general, in the aircraft industry even the smallest deviation in the precision of component machining is unwanted. This demand is made on numerous components of military and civil aircraft and machining accuracy is the most important criterion for machine manufacturers.

The name Mecaplex comes up whenever it is about transparencies. Almost all gliders manufactured in Europe, but also business and military jets, are provided with their panes. The Swiss company is specialised in the three-dimensional forming of acrylic glass without optical distortion and their knowhow is met with world-wide appreciation.

Many impulses for new methods of application or materials have their origins in research laboratories. This also applies to the Laboratory for Digital Product Development and Manufacturing (LDPF) at Trier University of Applied Sciences, which is intensely concerned with questions of sustainability and mobility of the future. A CNC machining centre from our company is the core of the actual implementation in prototype and mould construction.

F. LIST GMBH have gained themselves a reputation as a supplier of modern interiors for yachts and aircrafts. Their clear objective is to meet the great challenges faced in the highly sensitive aircraft industry, as the demands for utmost precision are many times higher there than in other industries.
