Machining Solutions Aerospace

Precision from earth to space.

Highest process reliability, maximum productivity and high levels of automation. We are familiar with the demands of the aerospace industry and offer the entire range from highly dynamic stand-alone machines and individual automation solutions to turnkey projects. Our portal milling machines and horizontal machining centers meet the highest demands in terms of dynamics, accuracy and reliability. Through the development of customized solutions and a competent, binding after-sales service, we also express the highest degree of customer orientation.

Commercial Aircraft

Ready for take-off – our milling solutions for the aerospace industry ensure the highest precision when it comes down to the micrometer. Especially when machining structural components for fuselage and wing segments, we offer the optimum solution for highly productive and reliable production, depending on the material and application. Flexible and automated solutions for the production of engine segments as well as the most demanding compressor components in blisk design or turbine center frames round off our portfolio.

Space

Lift off – for the machining of large round symmetrical rocket elements we offer our customers turnkey lathe-milling machines including customized clamping concepts. The combination of our highly rigid gantries, dynamic rotary tables and our patented spindle change concept offers the perfect symbiosis of vertical milling and horizontal turning for large-volume components with the highest demands on accuracy and productivity.

Defence

In the defence industry, our milling solutions find different applications in the production of security technologies. With the highest level of care and responsibility, we develop and build turnkey portal milling machines according to customer-specific requirements as well as individual automation solutions for the machining of hull segments such as bulkheads or wing components for air defense.

Applications

Carbon fiber

Zimmermann’s gantry machines and horizontal machining centers handle carbon fiber materials with outstanding precision. In particular when the task involves the squaring, drilling or milling of composite materials, skin machining or the manufacture of structural components. Alongside the precision that is required when machining carbon fiber, another vital factor is minimizing the deposition of hazardous dusts around the machine. To meet this specific need, Zimmermann has developed concepts that extract the hazardous dusts that are produced during machining. In this way, the extraction hoods located directly at the milling head ensure an optimized, safe milling process.
