Aerospace

It's great to see that you're interested in laser processing technology for aerospace manufacturing. This technology involves various processes such as welding, laser cutting, drilling, surface treatment, and even additive manufacturing. Laser cutting in particular has played a significant role in the aviation and aerospace industry's efforts to develop high-performance lightweight engineering that saves costs through short cycle times and long-lasting results. Keep up the good work!

In the aerospace industry, the application of laser technology is witnessing steady growth due to the increasing demand for enhanced fuel efficiency. Lasers play a crucial role in welding high-strength steel components and brazing large sheet metal pieces, as well as cutting fiber-reinforced polymers for weight reduction purposes and welding high-strength steel alloys. Laser technology is extensively used in the production processes of aircraft turbine manufacturers. Every engine contains blades and vanes that are laser-drilled, cut, clad, or additively manufactured during assembly operations. Laser technology is utilized for meeting the stringent quality requirements of components like turbine, compressor, and blisk blades. Laser applications, such as paint stripping, also play a vital role in aerospace production and maintenance.

Successful laser solutions

Aviation and aerospace customers can significantly reduce costs by using laser metal deposition (LMD) to repair blisks (blade integrated disks) or compressor/turbine blades instead of buying replacement parts. LMD allows for precise restoration of damaged components, which eliminates the need to purchase new ones. With LMD, we can achieve geometric adjustments, repairs, and production of high-quality components such as housings with precision. Our lasers can also cut, weld, mark, drill, and process surfaces in aviation/aerospace applications, resulting in substantial cost savings compared to purchasing new replacement components.

Aerospace laser welding

Light alloys, like titanium and aluminum, are crucial structural materials in aerospace and aviation. Welding these materials requires precise technology. AeeFar Airtronics Tech Laser has designed welding equipment based on studying the material characteristics. Our high-power laser welding machine and laser arc hybrid welding machine are widely used in the production of aerospace structural parts, engine parts, and repair welding on components, such as strongbacks on launch pads. You can trust our equipment to deliver precise and reliable results.

At our company, we understand the importance of precision and care when it comes to laser cleaning in the aerospace industry. Our laser cleaning solutions for aerospace are the perfect choice for coatings removal, tool or mold cleaning, and bonding preparation.
