Cutting and welding for  aeronautics and space

The aeronautics and space industry is one of the largest users of composite materials. The advantages including great rigidity, lightness, flexibility of design and fatigue strength of composite materials including carbon fibre, aluminium honeycomb and nomex, thermoplastic composites, various fibres and prepregs, are generating an ever-increasing interest from manufacturers and major clients. The high degree of innovation demanded by all players in the supply chain requires manufacturers to develop increasingly robust, automated, and precise assembly and finishing solutions.

In addition to the assembly and welding of various aircraft parts and structures, we are pioneers in the applications of ultrasonic cutting and machining of composite elements for the aeronautics and space industries.

ASSEMBLY AND WELDING OF COMPOSITES AND THERMOPLASTICS

SONIMAT provides many technologies for the assembly of thermoplastic composites, glass fibres and carbon fibres: infrared, laser, rotation and ultrasound.

These are clean, proven technologies that can be integrated into manual and automated equipment:

  • Portable ultrasonic welding system – SSP
  • Standard ultrasonic welding machine – ESW press
  • Rotary welding machine – RSW
  • Standard infrared welding machine – HPW

SONIMAT is also involved in the SIDEFFECT project, which aims to develop dynamic induction welding for aircraft composite fuselage assembly operations. Read the article.

ULTRASONIC MACHINING OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Our ultrasonic technology has many advantages for cutting honeycomb, dry fabrics, composites and pre-impregnated materials:

  • Longer tool life
  • Quick and easy blade change
  • No fraying
  • No thermal deterioration

This technology can be integrated into a wide range of manual and automated products:

  • SONIBLADE range of end-effectors for ultrasonic cutting and surfacing for use on robot cells, NC machines, XY tables and AFT/APL machines.
  • Portable ultrasonic cutting system – SSP

CUSTOMIZED MACHINES

Are your needs beyond our standards? We create solutions. As such, we develop and optimise our cutting and welding processes to suit your specifications. Beyond our standard solutions, we can provide you with manual solutions, embeddable on existing machines and robots or fully customised with specially designed machines. Our skills also allow us to offer you a very advanced level of automation and robotisation for perfect integration into your production lines.

They trust us

Our solutions for the assembly and ultrasonic machining of composite materials are aimed at manufacturers of parts and intermediate products, as well as equipment producers (NC machine, robot, XY table, etc.).
