An aerospace parts supplier in Italy is depending on a Starrag-developed flexible manufacturing system
A major supplier of aerospace parts in Italy is depending on a Starrag-developed flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to deliver exceptional machining rewards and reduced piece part costs when it commissions a four-machine, minimally-manned automated solution which will operate around-the-clock to meet rising demand for certain aero-engine components.
Based on a quartet of Heckert HEC 500 X5 multi-axis machining centres, each featuring a five-axis trunnion-type table, the FMS will be served by an integrated pallet system and a centralised tool storage facility that will house an amazing 2,000 tools to cover all eventualities in the single set-up, multi-task machining of the family of parts.
In addition to highly-efficient cutting and cycle times, the Heckert machining centres will also ensure consistently high-accurate cutting – to within two/three microns - of the titanium and high alloy steel workpieces which range in size up to 500 mm by 500 mm.
