Aerospace at SCHUNK

Goodbye delays. Take-off productivity.

Few industries operate so close to the limits of what is technically feasible as the aerospace industry. Materials such as titanium, delicate lightweight structures and strictly certified processes place high demands on stability and efficiency. The interface of the manufacturing process determines whether it succeeds or comes to a standstill.

To help you overcome these challenges, SCHUNK supplies solutions that are designed for demanding applications. Our clamping and gripping systems offer the highest repeat accuracy, reliable process control, and high efficiency – from modular clamping devices for structural components to automated handling of turbine blades.​
That is the SCHUNK effect. Together, we accelerate your production with precision and uncompromising.

Contact us now!

Experience the SCHUNK effect:

  • Increased machine running time​
    Reduced setup times, stable set-ups and automatable systems increase the available machine running time.
  • As process reliable as an autopilot​
    We ensure the quality of your components and provide reproducible processes from raw blanks to finished components.
  • One partner for the entire process chain​
    From standard products to customer-specific engineering, we support aerospace projects worldwide and develop solutions that are precisely tailored to your application.

Engine components are made of high-strength superalloys that are difficult to machine. This is where high thermal loads meet tight tolerances.
SCHUNK supports you with process-reliable solutions for your manufacturing needs – from low-vibration machining to reproducible dimensional accuracy.

Machining engine parts

Turbine rotors

For turbine rotors, the focus is on maximum rotational run-out accuracy and rigidity in every machining phase. Rigid, precise SCHUNK clamping solutions reduce vibrations, shorten setup times and increase process reliability.​

Your added value for process‑reliable engine manufacturing

  • Making complexity manageable​
    Sophisticated clamping solutions reliably adapt to demanding geometries and multi-stage processes.​
  • Efficiency throughout the entire machining process​
    Stable workpiece clamping, short setup processes and powerful toolholders reduce idle time and increase productivity in engine manufacturing.
  • Safety in the process​
    Reproducible accuracy and simple handling create confidence in safety-critical components.

Request a solution for engine machining

To bear the entire load during landing, chassis parts are manufactured from titanium or high-strength steels as solid structures. ​The challenge lies in the precise machining of these large and heavy components.
SCHUNK offers suitable clamping solutions, from clamping force blocks for high clamping forces to modular clamping systems that secure workpieces with minimal distortion.

Processing chassis parts​

Shackles

Shackles require tight tolerances and form-fit force transmission. Our clamping solutions with defined support and contour-adapted surfaces minimize distortion, shorten set-up times and ensure reproducible processes.​

Your added value for precise chassis production​

  • Precise machining of solid forged blanks ​
    Exact positioning and repeatable clamping ensure tight tolerances for large and solid workpieces.​
  • Flexibility due to modular design​
    Our clamping systems have a workpiece-specific design and a modular structure. The modular design makes it possible for families of parts to be easily clamped in the same device.​
  • Stable machining processes​
    Robust designs and high holding forces ensure vibration-free machining and reliable results with high-strength materials.​

Discuss the clamping concept for chassis components

Whether for frames, ribs or large aluminum components, structural engineering combines lightweight construction and large dimensions. Manufacturing these often thin-walled and vibration-sensitive components requires sensitive awareness.
SCHUNK offers a process-reliable and flexible set-up that avoids material stresses and reduces your cycle times.​

Your added value for the production of sensitive structural components​

  • Shorter throughput times​
    Faster set-ups and fewer clamping operations speed up the entire production process.​
  • High flexibility​
    Clamping solutions adapt easily to different component sizes, batch sizes and geometries.​
  • Constant process stability​
    Low-deformation clamping and simple handling ensure reproducible quality – even with thin-walled structures.​
