Mechanical design in aerospace

Development of components and automated production processes for aerospace.

We develop components and production processes for aerospace, in order to produce complex components of a consistently high quality quicker and more cost-effectively through automation.

Within general mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering holds a special position. The products are subjected to high mechanical and thermal stresses, but must still be designed in a consistent lightweight construction, to ensure functionality and economic efficiency. At the same time, strict safety standards must be fulfilled. Verification of very high product reliability is also of central importance.

Development
  • System engineering based on requirements lists and interface documents
  • Preparation of designs using materials and processes in accordance with aerospace guidelines
  • Aerospace-compliant finite element models and simulations in NASTRAN
  • Strength tests and reports in accordance with international standards, e.g. ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization)
Production
  • Production of structural components and installation of assemblies
  • Development and production of test equipment
Verification
  • Performance of static and dynamic acceptance tests
