Project Details
Fives Forest-Liné specializes in high-speed, 5-axis milling and machining centers designed specifically for the aerospace industry, with a focus on manufacturing large structural parts like aircraft wings, panels, and spars. These machines are known for their high dynamic accuracy, heavy-duty material removal rates (aluminum and titanium), and ability to handle large, complex, and thin-walled parts. It also has the Advanced Tape Laying (ATL) technology for composite wing skins, central wing boxes, and tail parts.
- Linear Motors: Utilized on X, Y, and Z-axes for high velocity, high acceleration (up to 5 m/s²), and low wear.
- Structural Rigidity: Closed-structure design ensures high precision, even when machining thin, flexible wing skins.
- Vacuum Technology: Embedded, intelligent vacuum networks on pallets for secure clamping of complex shapes.
- Versatility: Capable of handling materials ranging from aluminum to titanium and carbon fiber composites.
These machines are utilized by major aerospace manufacturers for the production of critical wing components, including skins, ribs, and spars.
With tape positioning within 0.5 mm, 100% traceability, highly dynamic axes and linear motors, accuracy is assured. And with feed rates of 60 m/min, there’s no compromise on productivity. Even complex ply shapes and double curvature parts are no problem for this workhorse. It is equally capable of laying up non-developable surfaces, slopes, ramps and pad ups.
Offering a further economic and environmental benefit, the ATLAS/ACCESS reduces scrap by 5 – 10% depending on part complexity. And the optimized tape laying process results in parts that are 3 – 5% lighter, a significant advantage for the aerospace industry
