J&C Aero, an international aviation design and production company, has announced investing up to €1.5 million (£1.3 million) into the acquisition and integration of new innovative equipment into its cabin interior production processes.
The modernisation programme is aimed at further automation and robotisation of J&C Aero’s certified in-house production processes. Amongst other, the company plans or has already acquired a super-speed CNC vertical mill for a three-fold increase in metal items production, a digital cutting system to significantly shorten the duration and improve the precision of fabric and leather cutting, a programmable electronic pattern sewing machine to use enhanced-quality seams, a full-fledged foam moulding line for automated production of whole cushions, as well as a high-performance spray booth to streamline the painting process.
In addition to the automatization of production processes, the new equipment will also enable J&C Aero to significantly lower its environmental impact thanks to a decreased amount of waste materials, product defects, as well as raw materials and energy used during production.
