Specialised departments
Aluminium machining department – structural parts
|
The structural department has twenty-seven 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines, 17 that use the HSM technology, and are specialised in the production of structural aluminium parts for aircraft. This department is composed of about 160 persons working in 3 different trades: NC Operators; Adjusters and Inspectors. The organisation into production units enables short production cycles with integrated control |
Small dimension - 22 machining centres |
|
Large dimension - 11 Machining centres |
The structural department is broken down into 3 production units, one of which includes 11 large size machining centres specialised in the manufacture of large structural aluminium parts (from 1.5 m to 10 m), thus making Figeac-Aéro the largest European supplier of large parts on 5-axis HSM machining centres.

Hard metals machining department – engine parts and precision parts
|
The precision department currently employs about fifty persons, and is specialised in the industrialisation of engine and precision parts made of aluminium and hard metals, as well as all parts made of a cast, forged or plate material (titanium, stainless steels, refractory alloys, etc.).
This department uses an air conditioned space and is composed of experts who are thoroughly familiar with quality requirements specific to this sector, for manufacturing, inspection, quality and logistics.
The precision department is currently equipped with 3 vertical lathes, 3 horizontal 5-axis machining centres and 2 small horizontal machining centres for manufacturing small engine parts. This is one of Figeac-Aéro's priority development themes, particularly for machining large hard materials. |
