Precise positioning of aircraft parts
When it comes to positioning workpieces in machine tools, precision is required - whether they weigh tons or just a few grams. Turners, rotary tables or two-axis swivel devices are the heart of a machining center. Applications in aircraft construction show just how powerful these sub-assemblies are.
