Lightweight solution for the aerospace industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At AVANCO Composites, we have been producing lightweight composites with carbon fibers and glass fibers for aircraft manufacturers and their system suppliers worldwide for years. The demand for component series in the aviation industry is constantly increasing, and thermoplastic components are proving to be the ideal solution for many applications. They are lightweight, reliable and can be flexibly adapted to customer requirements.
This leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and therefore emissions. In this way, AVANCO Composites, as a technology leader, is making an important contribution to the aviation industry of tomorrow.
A lower structural weight leads to a reduction in the overall weight and enables a more efficient use of the aircraft. In this way, each of our products contributes to reducing the specific consumption per passenger kilometer flown. In close cooperation with aircraft manufacturers, AVANCO Composites has been developing innovative thermoplastic lightweight products for more than 20 years, which are increasingly being used in the primary structure of the aircraft.
Our expertise is in the design, prototyping and series production of thermoplastic composite laminates and profiles using our in-house developed Continuous Compression Molding (X-CCM\u00ae) process. As a build-to-print manufacturer, we produce according to the specific requirements of our customers, realize special requests and are always looking for new challenges in the aerospace industry.
As an EN9100 certified company, we are familiar with the high requirements of the aerospace industry and have this awareness of quality firmly anchored in our company.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Profiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our unique X-CCM\u00ae press technology, we are able to produce thermoplastic profiles in a laminate quality that is not possible with any other manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes us a strong and reliable partner for lightweight profiles in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, defense and many other industrial applications. In terms of geometries, wall thicknesses and lengths, there are almost no limits to what we can do to meet customer-specific requirements. Our flexibility and innovative strength enable us to react quickly and adequately to customer requirements. This underlines our own ambition to be the technology leader in the field of thermoplastic profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stampforming<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stamp forming products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our stamp forming products are characterized by fast and consistently high quality. We manufacture thermoplastic components with precision and efficiency, whereby the necessary cut-outs are already taken into account during the forming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This saves time, reduces costs and enables near-net-shape production. All necessary process steps are carried out in-house, enabling complete integration and control over the entire manufacturing process. With our stamp forming solutions, we offer our customers a reliable and efficient solution for their individual requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemblies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our assemblies made of thermoplastic composites are individually assembled according to our customers’ specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties, these thermoplastic lightweight assemblies are suitable for a wide range of applications and can replace products made of steel, titanium alloys and aluminum. The modules are assembled directly in our company by experienced specialists. This in-house assembly ensures high quality and precision at every step of the assembly process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Laminate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Laminates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We manufacture thermoplastic laminates using our in-house developed, automated continuous process, X-CCM\u00ae (Continuous Compression Molding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always focus on the individual requirements and specifications of our customers. The X-CCM\u00ae process is capable of producing laminates with nearly no porosity. Furthermore, the fiber angles are almost freely selectable and combinable. A closed pressing process guarantees the highest surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Subsequent thermoforming allows the laminates to be flexibly reshaped and further processed. Depending on the function and application, different fiber types can be combined with different polymers. Depending on customer requirements, we process glass, carbon and aramid fibers in many variants. High-performance plastics such as PAEK and PEEK are used for the highest mechanical and chemical properties. Polyamide or PPS are also used for other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight<\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fiber composite materials have a weight reduction of around 70% compared to steel and up to 30% compared to aluminum. This weight reduction can lead to increased payload and reaching sustainability goals by reducing fuel requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stiffness<\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fiber composite materials offer exceptional strength and rigidity. This enables the construction of aircraft structures that can withstand severe stress, such as turbulences or landings. The high strength also leads to improved safety and longevity of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corrosion<\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to metals, fiber composite materials are not susceptible to corrosion. This means they are less susceptible to damage from moisture, salt or other environmental factors. This reduces maintenance costs and extends the service life of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Construction<\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fiber composite materials offer great design flexibility as they can be made into different shapes and sizes. This allows load-oriented aircraft structures to be manufactured, which also contribute to reducing the weight of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire protection<\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aviation materials are subject to FST (Fire, Smoke, Toxicity) testing. This test examines flammability, smoke intensity and combustion toxicity. There are a variety of approved fiber composite materials that have been approved in aviation for years and are therefore used by us.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
