Vasteras, Sweden (PRWEB) September 09, 2014
As the schedule ramps up to production of the COMAC 919, two very first-tier Chinese suppliers have bought fluid cell presses from Avure Technologies to decrease fabrication steps and drastically decrease the price of components they are manufacturing for the new single-aisle aircraft.

Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Xizi Aviation will set up the sheet metal forming presses in facilities at Shanghai and Zehjiang, China, respectively.

Shanghai Aircraft has chosen an advanced 68,000-ton fluid cell press, with a forming location of 1.4 x 4 m (55.1 x 157.5 inch), to extend its current capacity. Making use of ultra-high stress to type a wide range of complicated shapes, Avure Flexform™ fluid cell presses are a expense-effective, versatile manufacturing remedy, specifically when speed is vital in reducing time-to-industry and maintaining global competitiveness. The new Avure program is being designed for 1000 bar stress, a great asset when streamlining production to decrease the need to have for manual labor.

Xizi Aviation, a relative newcomer in the aerospace fabrication loved ones, chosen Avure’s recently introduced model, the QFC .7×1.8-800, a 17,000-ton fluid cell press with a table size of .7 x 1.8 m (27.6 x 72 inch) and designed for 800 bar pressure. With a rapidly, 60-second procedure cycle, combined with low operating fees, a space-saving little footprint, and straightforward installation directly at floor level, this press is a ideal match for Xizi’s concentrate on fabricating sheet metal parts for the airframe structure.

“These state-of-the-art higher-stress fluid cell presses are effectively suited to meet today’s imperative for much less and much less labor involvement, enabling the COMAC effort to compete with Western aircraft manufacturing approaches,” comments Sture Olsson, Avure’s Worldwide Metal Forming Enterprise Unit Director. “The introduction and mixture of higher-pressure, modern day tool design, and cautious fabrication logistics might decrease earlier essential fabrication steps by as a lot as 50 %, doubling the production capacity and cutting price by as much as 80 %.”

With 156 to 168 seats, the new C919 is a new short/medium variety commercial jetliner aimed at meeting increasing airline interest worldwide in single-aisle models. It is made to compete with the Airbus A320-NEO and the Boeing 737-MAX. All new aircraft styles seek to increase fuel efficiency, improve safety, enhance passenger comfort, and increase manufacturing efficiencies.

The new Flexform press will turn into Shanghai Aircraft’s second fluid cell press its first was supplied by Avure (formerly under the brand name ASEA, then ABB) nearly 30 years ago, and is nevertheless operational at complete processing parameters nowadays.

Avure will be exhibiting at EuroBLECH 2014 in Hannover, Germany, October 21-25, in Hall 17, Stand D122.
