Optimum machines for aero structure parts
Modig time studies demonstrated significant cycle time reduction machining aero-structure parts with time reduction of 76%.
Reduced cycle time:
On average, Modig says the machining time for aero-structure parts when using Modig HHV machines is approximately 50-70% less than conventional machining.
In a recent time trial it took 97 minutes to produce an aerospace part for commercial aircraft (known as a Link) with conventional machining .
In contrast, it took the HHV only 23 minutes to machine the uncut solid bar into a Link aero-structure component.
This equates to a significant cycle time reduction, with time savings of 74 minutes = a time reduction of 76%.
How do Modig HHVs reduce cycle time
The Modig HHV can machine bars that are 5 x 5” (127 x 127 mm) in unlimited length with an option for larger bars. The raw material doesn´t need to be pre-cut to a specific size.
The HHV automatically feeds uncut bars of unlimited length and machines multiple parts from the same block which also reduces raw material use.
