The fuselage is the main assembly of an aircraft. Quite literally almost everything is attached to the fuselage: wings, tailplane, landing gear, cockpit, cabin, tanks.
The main requirements for the fuselage are, firstly, low weight and secondly, the largest possible stiffening formers in cross section and longerons in longitudinal section play a significant role in this stability.
Lightweight construction materials such as aluminium, aluminium/lithium alloys and composite materials such as CFRP and glass-fibre reinforced aluminium are chosen today for manufacturing this structure. Using our high-performance tools, including PCD tools, we develop component-specific machining solutions for the production of these components.

Stacks
In wing and fuselage assembly, structural components made of CFRP/titanium/aluminium are increasingly being used which are subjected to extremely high stress, particularly during aircraft take-off and landing.
The demands for dimensional stability and process reliability when machining these stacks are correspondingly high. We offer machining solutions which are perfectly tailored to the particular CFRP/metal stacks used for all stack variants, for example for carrying out solid drilling operations in a single pass.
