5-axis machining center LABORSPACE

horizontalCNCfor aeronautics

LaborSpace is a special CNC machining center which integrates the functions of a mobile portal milling machine with a rotating unit typical of a horizontal lathe, designed to performmachining of high dimension aerospace propulsion systems. It is capable to machine aerospace solid motor cases up to 20 meters length by 5 meters diameter, made by advanced composites materials (carbon fiber and epoxy resin) protected by a rubber layer and equipped with aluminum flanges, which may reach 120 tons weight. Laborspace capable to perform precisely on very wide, long and high strokes the three critical operations for that parts manufacturing process: the composite multilayer cutting, the light alloy flanges drilling and the external rubber machining.
