KTM Rebuilds Keep Aerospace Costs Down

Abstract

Machine tool efficiency is of paramount importance in the aerospace industry because of the high manufacturing standards demanded. Also, a particular characteristic of airframe components is the need very often to machine quite complex components from the solid. As a result, it is not unusual to find that certain parts might involve the machining away of 90% of the orginal material.
