In addition to honeycomb potting, sandwich components often also have to be sealed and thus reinforced in the edge areas. For this purpose, similar or even identical filling materials are used as those used for filling the honeycombs themselves. Namely, core and edge filling compounds with very low density, which is achieved by enriching the material with hollow spheres. With our dosing technology, this process can also be automated. The 1-component or 2-component materials are processed gently – without changing their material properties. The material application can be fully automated or semi-automated. Thanks to pulsation-free dispensing, the best results can be achieved with the minimum of effort. This allows you to reduce production times while optimizing production processes at the same time.

The focus on buy-to-fly ratios highlights the contributing role that near net shape processing can offer. This has undoubtedly been a driver in increasing this service offering from AMA. As a major contributor in the aircraft manufacturing supply chain, this is a key area of development for AMA and its companies. Customers are increasingly looking to optimise their production processes. This is primarily driven by the need to maximise their own spindle time for core business activities, with AMA therefore undertaking some of the machining processes. It can take many forms, from simple cutting to more intricate processing in which near net shape pieces are supplied. Even in AMA businesses whose business is predominantly transactional (so called ‘spot business’) rather than contractual, the processing element is increasing. Pre-machined kits of parts to individual specifications are becoming more commonplace. In addition to freeing up time for customers and OEMs to focus on more profitable final processing, near net shape processes can improve product quality, reduce variability and enhance component design functionality. As the industry continues to search for ways to lower buy-to-fly ratios and reduce the amount of waste, near net shape processing will have a greater role to play.

Orbit’s TT&C ground stations antenna must function flawlessly in order to provide a narrow beam width link in one-time single opportunity, flight test event. Add this factor to the turbulent weather that is often present at the ground station locations, and you are looking at a formidable hurdle. Orbit provides fixed, transportable, and portable antenna systems that feature auto-track, RSSI-track and GPS track tracking modes, unsurpassed tracking accuracy and durability to deliver the stable connection required for dependable data throughput. Our stabilized T&T antenna systems work in extreme temperature conditions (-40°C to 55°C) and in rough weather, for example, at base stations that are close to the ocean or on high mountain ranges.
