TECT Aerospace offers a variety of highly specialized precision manufacturing capabilities. Many of these technologies feature a cellular manufacturing approach, which reduces set-up time and utilizes dedicated tooling to add efficiency. These capabilities include high-speed aluminum machining, long bed machining, turning, metal fabrication and mill turn. We've also integrated these capabilities into our larger technology footprint and value stream to further integrate our supply chain. The result is precision-manufactured parts, shorter lead times and less working capital for our customers.
High-speed aluminum machining
TECT Aerospace can manufacture some of the most complex high-speed aluminum machined parts. Our cellular approach reduces set-up time because our palletized machining makes use of dedicated tooling, which optimizes the manufacturing process and ensures reliable quality aircraft parts time and time again. This approach also combines with our integrated supply chain to shorten lead time for our customers.
Specifications
TECT Aerospace produces high-speed-machined aluminum structures from 10" to 108' in length and 3' to 110' in width.
Long bed machining
With the ability to manufacture parts up to 108' in length, TECT Aerospace can meet the most demanding product requirements of every aircraft in your product line. We're experts in the manufacturing of a large array of wing and fuselage components, and have the added flexibility to machine them as monolithic or extruded structures. Our more than 50 years of long bed machining expertise gives us the precision to reliably produce complex machined structures at a high material removal rate while maintaining close tolerances. TECT Aerospace offers conventional spar milling machines as well as proprietary machines that maintain their unique capabilities with the added precision of CNC guidance.
Specifications
TECT Aerospace can 3-, 4- and 5-axis machine long parts up to 108' in length and 2' in width, non-conventional machine spars up to 108' in length, and twist and pad mill parts up to 60' in length.
