To meet OEM’s ramp-up demands and to build a solid future-proof business, aircraft and parts manufacturers must look into new and innovative ways to prepare their production lines for the long-term. But, where to start? To help you make the right decisions for your business, we drew up a Point of View to get you started:
In the space market, there is an increasing demand for small satellites: in the next decade many thousands of these smallsats must find their way into Earth orbit. But without access to launch, how can newspace companies get their smallsats to space and meet demand?
Composite parts manufacturers face increasing demands from customers to produce higher volumes at lower costs. This trend is particularly marked in high growth industries, such as aerospace, automotive and marine. Increasingly, IIoT solutions for composite parts manufacturers use a combination of automation hardware and AI software to deliver radical productivity improvements. If you are a composite parts manufacturer, ask yourself: are you ready to double your current production rate in the next five years?
Our Automated Honeycomb Potting system automatically applies potting material for local reinforcements in honeycomb sandwich panels. It saves labour cost, is more accurate and has a seamless automated workflow, from design to automated manufacturing. The system is offered in three sizes:
Our Automated Laminating Cell is a multifunctional system that combines robotised tape laying, laminate cutting and pick & place. It is much more affordable than conventional systems, has a small footprint and can easily be adapted depending on requirements.
We have developed a plug and play kitting & sorting system for composite plies. The system starts with automatic ply picking from a conveyer belt and then moves to a sorting system which recognizes plies and sorts them automatically. The system is offered in two sizes:
Ever been called a honcho? Well, Airborne CEO Arno van Mourik has! This article from insightssuccess.com dives deep into the ambition and vision of Airborne, calling us a ‘Pioneer of Advanced Composites Manufacturing’.
Business leaders at Sabic, Airborne (CEO Arno van Mourik) and Siemens discuss a collaboration by the three companies to develop the UDMAX thermoplastic laminate manufacturing system.
For lots of industries advanced composites are the answer to their challenges. But how can we make mass customisation affordable for every industry?
Want to use composites without first becoming an expert? Here is how we made it easy for you! Find out more about the Airborne Digital Client Portal.
In the next 10 years several thousands of small satellites will be build and need to be launched. This demands new and affordable launching solutions.
SABIC and Airborne have invested in the composites industry’s first automated, digital system for the large-scale manufacturing of laminates. Check out the details in this video.
Our Automated Honeycomb Potting solution is designed to fill honeycomb blanks efficiently and accurately with potting compound.
The ALC is a low-cost platform that combines three functionalities: tape laying, laminate cutting and pick & place for offloading the laminates to the next process step.
To reduce touch labor and to radically improve clean room efficiencies, our automated ply picking and sorting solution places the cut composite plies into kits in the right order.
