MACHINING SINGLE AISLE AIRCRAFT WING STRINGERS

From 630” (16 m) aluminum extruded profiles to finished accurate single aisle aircraft stringers: MODIG Technology

164,050 ft (50,000 m) of single aisle aluminum wing stringers are today produced in the MODIG RigiMill MG every month around the world. These typical long and slim parts made of any aluminum or titanium alloys are processed on MODIG RigiMill MG with no length limits. The most productive processes are tackled with our modular palletization system up to 950” (24 m) long pallets or, when footprint allows it, through pendular installation.

From 630” (16 m) aluminum extruded profiles to finished accurate single aisle aircraft stringers, machined in a MODIG RigiMill Moving Gantry with a time savings of 64%.

Time savings of 64%!

This 630” (16m) aluminum wing stringer was previously machined with a well-known multi machining center in 205 minutes. In the MODIG RigiMill MG the same part was machined in 74 minutes! A time saving of 131 minutes = 64%!

Long life accuracies and surface finishing are provided with the RigiMill’s ultra compact architecture, cast iron monolithic bridge, and moving cross-rail, which offering remarkable rigidity at the spindle.

The RigiMill compactness was purposely designed to offer a formidable agility in any axis’s situations providing with optimal cutting performances and strategies.
