Cutting Tools for Space Manufacturing

Thin composite skins, sandwich panels and layered structures require careful control during drilling and trimming. Tool geometry and workpiece support both influence hole quality and edge finish.

Delamination or damage around a feature can lead to further inspection, rework or replacement of an already valuable component. Selecting tooling suited to the material helps control these issues and maintain consistent dimensions.

Protecting the Component During Machining

Gandtrack manufactures cutting tools for space manufacturing applications involving advanced composites and selected material stacks.

Our range includes:

• GT-50, GT-105 and GT-15 for suitable drilling and hole-finishing requirements.

• Cross-cut, shear-cut and PCD routers for selected profiling operations.

• Kevlar tooling where aramid reinforcement is used.

• Reamers and countersinks for final assembly features.

Considering the complete material construction, support and drawing requirements helps control damage and achieve consistent dimensions. Tooling selection forms part of the wider manufacturing and inspection process.
