Maximum precision and safety

With LEANTECHNIK solutions.

The aerospace industry sets the standard for quality, safety and precision. Whether in the construction of aircraft structures, engine assembly or the testing of sensitive components – every stage of production must be absolutely reliable and traceable.

Structural and Fuselage Assembly

In aerospace engineering, precision, stability and absolute repeatability are crucial. When joining large assemblies such as fuselage sections or wings, lifgo® rack-and-pinion drives from LEANTECHNIK ensure precise, synchronised movements even under extreme loads. The robust 4-roller guide ensures maximum rigidity and smooth running – even with structures weighing several tonnes. This results in reliable positioning systems for the most demanding assembly processes, where micrometre-precise movement and maximum operational reliability are required.

Engine assembly

In engine assembly, precision is key to safety and performance. LEANTECHNIK’s 3-axis positioning systems enable complex and delicate components to be moved, aligned and assembled with millimetre precision – without placing any strain on the structure. The systems allow for flexible adaptation to different engine types and ensure a fast, safe changeover process. In combination with our lifgo® and lean SL® gearboxes, they provide precise, robust and low-maintenance solutions for the most demanding requirements in engine assembly.

Cabin and interior manufacturing

Flexibility, ergonomics and precision are crucial in the manufacture of cabin and interior fittings. Whether seats, galleys or cockpit modules – LEANTECHNIK’s system solutions enable components to be positioned securely and adjusted to suit assembly requirements. The systems enable quick changeovers for different variants. This helps to reduce assembly times, optimise workflows and sustainably improve quality in final assembly.

Test and trial rigs

In aerospace engineering, absolute process reliability is essential. Whether for functional, load or endurance testing, our systems offer the highest level of repeatability and stability under dynamic loads. All motion sequences can be precisely tracked and documented, ensuring maximum safety and quality in sensitive test environments.

Vertical Integration Station

Precise positioning for aerospace manufacturing

A RohTech-DST assembly line produces key structural components for launch vehicles. For the precise joining of large composite components, the company relies on lifgo® rack-and-pinion drives from LEANTECHNIK. The drives handle linear positioning within a vertical integration station, meeting high standards of accuracy, load-bearing capacity and compactness – even under time-critical project conditions.
