Aerospace

Aviation continues to be a strong market with engine contracts extending for years and additional pressure on maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) facilities. Factories in the engine supply chain, from raw material processing through assembly are investing in capacity expansion, process technology upgrades, cost reduction and speed to market. 

Manufacturing aircraft engine components typically occurs under extreme conditions, including elevated temperatures, inert atmospheres and high pressure. To achieve high quality at low cost, manufacturers need robust equipment that leverages smart automation that reduces personnel hazards, meets tight tolerances and operates reliably over long periods.
