The Problem<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]During the manufacture of Airbus wings, large aluminium billets are machined down to 5% of their original mass (3.2 tonnes down to 250kg). This creates a vast amount of swarf. \u00a0Airbus had considered a number of options to remove this material from the machining beds, which included a vacuum process and a combination vacuum\/blower technique. Both proved to be highly expensive and difficult engineering challenges.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Mounted in the throat of the moving gantry that houses the machining heads are 30\u00a0Air Knives\u00a0ranging in length from 150 to 1520mm which blow the debris towards the edges of the work bed into collecting gullies.\u00a0 These Air Knives are powered by a single inverter controlled 110kW radial blower (4000 CFM) housed in an acoustic chamber.

The Outcome<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve efficient and accurate machining, a lot of fine adjustment was required during set up.\u00a0 ACI has been flexible and accommodating to help us accomplish our operating objectives with regard to finding the correct air delivery patterns, volumes and velocities \u2013 all with good effect\u201d. Peter Jarvis, Project Manager, Airbus UK.<\/p>\n
