1. Manufacturing of complex curved surfaces and irregularly shaped parts
The programming flexibility and multi-axi linkage capability of CNC machine tools make them suitable for machining complex geometric shapes;
Blade processing: Five-axis machining centres can complete spatial surface processing of aircraft engine blades, achieving high-precision contour control through B-axis tilting and high-speed rotary tables.
Missile components: Non-standard parts (such as missile guidance head structures) require high-complexity cutting through the multi-functional processing modules of CNC lathes.
2. Efficient Manufacturing of Integral Structural Components
To reduce aircraft weight and enhance structural strength, the aerospace industry widely adopts integral structural components (such as integral frames and integral blade disks);
Integral Blade Disk Machining: Five-axis CNC machine tools utilise milling and turning composite processes to transform traditional multi-part assemblies into single components, significantly improving performance and reducing manufacturing cycles.
3. Auxiliary Applications in Assembly and Inspection Processes
CNC machine tools are not only used for machining but also optimise assembly processes through high-precision positioning and inspection systems;
Assembly Positioning: The precise motion control of CNC machine tools is used for component alignment to ensure assembly accuracy (e.g., landing gear installation).
