lamination Fig. 7: MS-21 automatic wing assembly process concept Automatic routing and drilling machine with flexible tooling In addition to the lamination solution, M. Torres will provide a TORRESMILL and TORRESTOOL system to Aerocomposit. This system is used to trim and drill aerospace components, both in aluminium and carbon fibre. This well-known solution has been the industry standard for years and Aerocomposit will also benefit from the experience that M. Torres has gained delivering these systems. This extremely reliable and accurate solution will ensure, together with the other systems on site, the high quality of the components delivered to the assembly area. Automated assembly jigs for wing assembly Finally, M. Torres will deliver to Aerocomposit a customized solution for the automatic assembly of the wing’s different subcomponents. This expertise paves the way to design and then to develop and implement a concept solution that works. Aerocomposit’s Ulyanovsk and Kazan plants will house the above-mentioned systems in just a few months to ensure the MS-21 wings are produced on time, with the required quality level. n More information: www.mtorres.es 46 jec composites magazine / No72 April - May 2012http://www.mtorres.es http://www.sae.org/training/europeseminars
