Our commitment to research has conquered a new important result: the prototype of the integrated technological system for the production of skins for the aeronautical and aerospace sector - a CMS world patent - has been tested with foreseen results, in particular as regards aluminium sheets with such characteristics to create innovation destined to revolutionise the sector. In fact the CMS technology avoids the need for traditional systems based on the use of acid to reduce the thickness of the sheet (lightening), ensuring a substantial reduction in maintenance times on the workpieces, greater versatility concerning the shape and characteristics of each individual workpiece and minor environmental impact, thanks to the absence of aggressive chemical components and the total recyclability of machining swarfs.
The guide concept of the CMS system is to work the sheet without being affected by the typical deformations and bending of the skins. The heart of the system is the original “iUHF table”, exclusively set up by our engineering team, made up of more than 100 actuators with a self-creating “intelligent” function, mobile on the five axes, controlled by a dedicated software, which keeps the workpiece in always ideal operating conditions for the machining centre action (CMS Standard). In practice the skin, positioned horizontally and fixed through adjustable clamps, is “read” during the step by step process and the process supervisor operates the deformation calculus module in real time. This opens up new possibilities for the lightening processing, guaranteeing advantages from all points of view: uniformity of the lightened surfaces (absence of steps), minimal tolerances of the lightening thickness, high grade of finish of the worked surface and reduction of machining times (with a single positioning operation). The eco-sustainability component is to be considered too, inasmuch as the process does not pollute and does not require the use of protective films on the sheet.
As it was easy to imagine, the CMS technology immediately attracted huge interest from the aeronautical and aerospace production sector, from both international majors and also smaller -sized and lowerturnover companies, since the CMS proposal is accessible with a relatively contained investment, ensuring complete optimisation of process costs and results.
