There is a lot Italian technology in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter being produced by Lockheed Martin
and global partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. There is a lot of Parpas machining
technology in many global aerospace manufacturers. The Padua, Italy based company is providing
very high-precision 5 axis milling machines for the production of fuselages and wings of the new U.S. military aircraft. Just like Airbus, the
company (Lockheed) has recently added Active Five High Speed 5 Axis Gantries and Diamond Linear high speed 5 axis bridge mills from
Parpas which handle a
variety of materials,
including steel,
aluminum and
composites to suit
applications in the aerospace and die/mold
industries.
Fw companies can boast of having in its
customer portfolio with prestigious brands in
the aviation industry such as Lockheed Martin,
Boeing, Airbus, Edac Aero, Xac, GE, Snecma,
Cessna, Nuovo Pignone, Spirit Aerosystems,
Hitco Carbon Composites, ATK, MTU or
Ansaldo.
Increasing in popularity is the XS model from
Parpas. The XS is a line of medium to large
size gantry machines dedicated to 3~5 axis
high speed machining as well as heavy duty
machining on hard materials (steel, inconel,
titanium, etc). The possibility to have automatic head changing system or as alternative, the automatic spindle
cartridge change, allows the machines to be more flexible and suitable for complex machining or particularly
longer parts in aerospace industry.
The THS is a traveling column 3~5 axis tilt head vertical or horizontal machining center. Highly rigid and flexible,
its particular structure can be adapted both to automated high speed machining and to heavy duty machining.
More Parpas aerospace applications.
The DIAMOND is a gantry style machining center with 3 or 5 axis for high speed moulds/dies machining as well as
aerospace jobs. It features a monobloc structure with a gantry moving saddle and stationary workpiece. Machine
available also in configuration "Linear", with linear motor for 3 machine axes and
torque motor for rotary axes.
Growing in popularity among aerospace OEM’s, contractors and job shops, the ACTIVE FIVE is a high
speed bridge mill solution characterized by a very compact and ergonomic floor design. Strict FEM (Finite
Element Analysis) has all but eliminated milling and raid travel related related vibration ensuring high
speed surfacing. The machine is equipped with a 2 axis head.
