Erowa automated pallet loading for 5 axis milling
Originally founded in 1939, AF Aerospace is widely recognized for its expertise in the manufacture and distribution of precision-machined, safety critical components to the aerospace industry. The business maintains quality approvals with all its major customers including BAE SYSTEMS and Airbus
Competitive advantage is maintained at AF Aerospace by continued reinvestment in the latest technology possible as related to manufacturing equipment and methodologies.
Recently installed is a five axis machining centre with an Erowa Robot Multi pallet loading system. The Robot Multi was specifically configured for A F Aerospace with the pallet size selected for the components to be machined and the number of pallet positions to enable the machining cell to operate unattended.
Future expandability was also specified so the Robot Multi has the capability to load a second machine to be purchased at a later date.
Production Engineering Development Manager, Tony Beaumont, says “We continually improve our service to our customers by looking at our methods and the new automated milling cell will enable us to improve delivery times and keep production costs under control”
