What each sector makes on our machines
For each sector: what it makes, which machine makes it, and what ABS does to get it running.
Aeronautics
Aircraft structures and skins in aluminium and magnesium, machined and routed on 5-axis centers that hold tolerance across thin, long parts. ABS proves the process on your first-off parts before the machine ships. An Indian aerospace manufacturer chose seven CMS Poseidon gantries for its aerostructures, installed from 2006 and supported by ABS.

Aerospace: 5-axis machining, fiber placement and filament winding
Spacecraft and satellite structures are machined on 5-axis machining centers that hold tolerance across large, thin-walled aluminium and composite parts. Laminates are laid up on automated fiber and tape placement lines, and launch-vehicle and propulsion tanks are wound as Type IV pressure vessels on filament winding machines. ABS supplies all three in India, with application engineering and prove-out on your own parts before the machine ships.
