The factory is equipped with CNC lathes, CNC machining centres and CNC grinding machines to produce and inspect electronic air gauges, numerical control machines, and other high precision inspection instruments.

Prospects for new cooling strategies

The boom in giant aircraft is driving a radical transformation in the materials of choice. Suddenly, titanium, nickel-based alloys, ultra-high-strength steels and carbon-fibre composites have to be machined on a large scale and at high levels of productivity. Conventional cooling lubricant concepts often come up against their physical limits here. The potential of cryogenic cooling compared to conventional processes has been rigorously examined by Hendrik Abrahams, a scientist on the staff of th
