Ascent Aerospace will feature assembly solutions for airframers at Advanced Engineering 2018, running from 31st October until 1st November 2018
From assembly jigs through to automated production systems, Ascent’s solutions are used by OEMs, Tier 1s and Tier 2s, to build components, major aerostructures, and final assembly. Ascent will also feature its patent-pending layup mold concept, HyVarC, in Advanced Engineering’s Innovations Showcase.
Hybrid layup moulds combine the advantageous characteristics of Invar and composite for a lightweight, masterless tool that is faster and less expensive to manufacture. The thin Invar backup structure and face plate results in a tool that is 50% lighter, with the long term vacuum integrity of a traditional Invar tool. And the tight-tolerance, machined composite working surface is easily modified, making it ideal for prototype and development applications.
Ascent Aerospace will be exhibiting on Stand Q83.
