Special presses for the aeronautical market

The precision and robustness of equipment in the aerospace industry are crucial to guarantee optimum performance and operational safety. Manual, mechanical, pneumatic and hydropneumatic presses will therefore play a key role in the manufacture of components subject to extreme stress. We invite you to discover specific examples of EMG press applications dedicated to the aerospace sector. At EMG Presses, we offer innovative, customised solutions tailored to the unique requirements of this high-tech sector.

The demands of the aerospace industry

We are fully aware that the aerospace industry is subject to strict quality, safety and performance standards. The components manufactured, whether engine parts, aircraft structures or control systems, must withstand extreme conditions: high pressure, temperature variations and significant mechanical stress.

The equipment used to manufacture them, particularly presses, must therefore meet a number of fundamental requirements:

1. High precision: each component must respect very fine dimensional tolerances to ensure that all the parts fit together perfectly and function optimally. The presses used must guarantee great stability and precise control of the forces exerted, whether for forming, assembly or other manufacturing processes.
2. Power and consistency of forceThe materials used in aerospace, such as light alloys, composites or high-performance metals (like titanium or aluminium alloys), require very high working forces to be formed or assembled. EMG presses are capable of delivering high levels of power and guaranteeing consistent force levels. This prevents any uncontrolled deformation of the parts.
3. Robustness and durabilityIn aerospace and all other sectors, machines must be reliable over the long term. It is therefore essential that presses are robust and capable of withstanding repeated stresses. And without losing performance. This reliability is crucial to ensuring continuity of production.
4. Adaptability to complex materialsWe know that the materials used in the aerospace sector are subject to specific treatments. The presses used must therefore be adapted to these materials and their particular characteristics. Whether they are fibre-based composites, light metals or superalloys. This often involves customised forming or assembly solutions to optimise the process and respect the properties of the material.
5. Automation and technology integrationTo improve productivity and reduce the risk of errors, automation plays a key role. At EMG Presses, our solutions allow you to include automated systems according to your needs.
6. Safety and compliance with standardsWe are well aware that presses used in the aerospace industry must meet strict safety standards. Naturally, we design machines to comply with current regulations, such as CE standards, to ensure the safety of operators and processes.
    

Our tailor-made solutions at EMG Presses

At EMG Presses, we use our expertise to design tailor-made presses that meet the specific constraints of the sector. Each project is developed in collaboration with the customer to define solutions tailored to their needs. Solutions include

• Manual presses : high-capacity manual presses are ideal for assembling large components or those requiring long strokes. Thanks to their power reserves, the operation is effortless and stress-free.
• Pneumatic presses : these allow more automatic action when production runs are larger and/or the power output is higher or more regular.
• Hydropneumatic presses: These combine the advantages of pneumatic and hydraulic systems to offer both speed and power, 2 essential factors in the manufacture of complex components.
• High-precision mechanical presses: Ideal for operations requiring precise control of forming and assembly forces.
• Presses with automation features: Integration of robots, vision systems and sensors to maximise productivity and quality.
   

Examples of applications for special presses in the aerospace industry

EMG's made-to-measure presses are used in a wide range of applications:

• Assembly of structural parts: the presses assemble panels and components that go into the structure of aircraft.
• Forming complex parts: Parts such as turbine blades, made from high-temperature resistant materials, require extremely precise and controlled forming forces.
• Press-fitting and component adjustment: to fit parts into mechanical assemblies without deformation, such as the adjustment of rings or plugs in parts subject to high pressure.

When it comes to specific applications, there's no limit to what we can do. We offer the possibility of integrating the entire workstation around the press: lighting, support for parts, ergonomic shelves for the PC, power reduction system for low operator effort, effort and movement management systems for traceability and production monitoring, etc. The aim is for the press to be totally adapted to your needs.

The special presses for the aerospace market offered by EMG Presses meet stringent industrial requirements in terms of power, precision, robustness and reliability.
