Custom Cutting Tools for Aerospace Manufacturing
Aerospace components frequently combine tight tolerances, demanding surface-finish requirements and materials that require application-specific cutting geometry.
Aoshiji® Custom Tool develops drawing-specific cutting tools for aerospace machining applications where standard tooling cannot efficiently meet the required feature geometry, dimensional control or tool-life target.
Typical Aerospace Machining Applications
Typical applications may include:
• Aircraft structural components
• Aluminum aerospace housings
• Precision bores and stepped bores
• Profiles, radii and special contours
• Titanium component applications
• Composite and non-ferrous machining
• High-accuracy hole finishing
• Drawing-specific special features
Application-Specific Tool Engineering
Aerospace tooling selection must consider more than the nominal tool diameter.
The workpiece material, feature geometry, tolerance, surface finish, tool overhang, runout, machine rigidity, coolant strategy and cutting parameters are evaluated together when developing the tool concept.
Depending on the application, PCD, carbide, solid carbide or other cutting materials may be considered.
Relevant Cutting Tools
Typical solutions may include PCD reamers, PCD form tools, carbide and solid-carbide cutting tools, custom reamers, drills and form tools.
