With its rich history, the aerospace sector genuinely opens up new frontiers. To protect everyone involved, safe and accurate production is required. However, used machinery can also meet this need, so it’s not always necessary to make an expensive new buy.
The history of the aerospace industry begins with the early experiments of the pioneers of flight and extends from the conquest of airspace to the vastness of outer space. Since the Wright brothers’ first motorised flights in the early 20th century, the industry has developed rapidly. The advances include significant milestones such as the first manned space flight, the moon landing and the establishment of international space stations. In addition to space exploration and the improvement of commercial aviation, the industry has also significantly influenced private aviation and global freight transport. The availability of commercial aircraft and the optimisation of cargo aircraft have changed mobility on an individual and economic level, offering new opportunities for personal travel and the fast, worldwide transport of goods.
Our development has been driven by continuous technical innovations and improvements in aerodynamics, materials science and propulsion technology. The aerospace industry has not only changed the way we travel, communicate and view the Earth, but has also expanded our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
Mechanical innovations in aerospace production
Progress in the aerospace industry is largely due to improvements in production and development. Modern manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, 3D printing and the use of automated assembly lines have led to increased precision in the manufacture of components. Furthermore, advances in materials science, particularly in lightweight and composite materials, have improved the efficiency and performance of aircraft. Software solutions for design and simulation also help to speed up product development and enable components to be optimised for specific requirements. These developments are crucial to meeting the high quality and safety requirements of the aerospace industry.
Used machinery: a sustainable option
These specifications mean that the purchase of new equipment is associated with considerable costs. Against this backdrop, Used machinery: an attractive option for companies to expand their machine park cost-effectively. By purchasing used but high-quality machines, companies can invest in the necessary technology without going over budget. This practice allows small and medium-sized companies to remain competitive while meeting the high demands of the industry. Used machinery: thus provides valuable access to advanced manufacturing technology required for production in the aerospace industry.
The industrial auction house Surplex – the industrial auction house always offers opportunities to bid for high-quality machines for the metal and plastics industry. More than 170 machines are currently up for Auctions, following the closure of a part manufacturer for the aerospace industry in Spain. Among the lots on offer are high-quality machines such as a MITSUI SEIKI HU50A-5X Horizontal Machining Centre, a MORI SEIKI NL 2000Y/500 CNC Lathe and a HYUNDAI SKT21LM CNC Lathe. The machines can be viewed by appointment in Barakaldo, Spain or online via a digital 3D tour. Surplex stands for quality and reliability in the field of Used machinery: it offers transparent auction processes and enables companies to make cost-effective investments in high-quality technology.
