Assembly, machining and NDT benches

Versatile benches for positioning, drilling, assembly, interpolation milling and automated dimensional control represent the basis of PINETTE PEI know-how. They are used to work on large composite sandwich panels, which are assembled to form the transport structure for the satellites in the Ariane launcher.

  • Height adjustable from 5,000 to 7,000 mm
  • Optimized design to facilitate operator work
  • Maximum dimensions: 6,000 mm diameter
  • 6-axis CNC control
  • Reference surface accuracy + / – 2 mm
  • Axis movement accuracy better than + / – 0.1 mm
  • Optimized design to ensure cleanliness and safety in the work area

Thermography

Explore the features of our active thermography system, specially designed with theWelding Institute to optimize the inspection of composite parts in the aerospace industry. Here are the key benefits our advanced technology brings:

  • Advanced technology: 6-axis robot for precise detection of defects such as delamination, core disassembly and insertions.
  • High processing capacity: suitable for monolithic parts up to 6mm thick and sandwich configurations.
  • High performance: High sensitivity and resolution, reducing inspection time by 20-30% compared with ultrasonic methods, without the need for a coupling agent.
  • Fully automated: Automated cell for total traceability and simultaneous inspection of both sides of the part, ideal for medium dimensions up to 3600 x 2500mm depending on geometry.
  • Turnkey solution: flexible architecture adapted to large dimensions, with options such as a 7th axis or two robots.
  • Support and training: FrANDTB level 3 support by IS for optimum installation, plus full training by our experts.
