The aerospace industry demands high repeatability and adherence to strict production tolerances. As we discovered in Aerospace, Part 2, Rosler Metal Finishing’s drag finishing systems produce exact results every time.
Airbus Helicopters
After using Rosler drag finishing systems for a number of years, Airbus Helicopters knew just who to turn to for help with a new helicopter model.
We took on the challenging task of finishing larger gear components for the new design as well as incorporating expanded capacity for their existing helicopter models, developing an innovative drag finishing system with automatic work piece clamping and a clever work piece handling system.
Based on numerous processing trials in our test center, Rosler developed an entirely new drag finishing concept that meets all customer requirements. Flexible yet robust, the new drag finisher is capable of finishing approximately 35 different work pieces made from special, high-performance steel alloys with diameters from 40-800 mm and individual weights of up to 75 kg.
