Aerospace parts, especially components requiring high strength and durability, often utilize metal powders. Vibratory screeners ensure the powders are properly sized for optimal performance. A key part in achieving desired powder specifications and screeners performance is the consistancy with which metal powders are added. ARBO resonant vibratory drives and vibratory tray feeders are ideal for delivery of a variety of metal powders into these screening and sizing applications.

Quality control in manufacturing is always essential, however, aerospace components require a higher standard then others. Tolerances and stresses are high for the sake of passanger and crew safety. The quality and consistancy of input materials is therefore paramount. Where vibratory screeners help ensure specifications by sizing particles, the consistant and even dosing of metal powders ensures the best performance of that sizing and therefore the quality of the metal powders classified.

ARBO resonant vibratory tray feeders and drives are in use globally for this application. The high frequency, low amplitude movement of particles along the tray ensures precise, consistant and even dosing. This maximizes the performance of the screeners and delivers particle size classification that meets the most demanding of industry standards.

Titanium, steel and steel alloys, nickel, copper and aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, cobalt, tungsten and rhenium are among the powders used for aerospace. ARBO is proud to have installed its feeders in all of these application and to be operating in this field for over three decades.

We are looking forward to the opportunity to discuss your powdered metal and aerospace applications and how we can be of assistance in these cutting edge processes. ARBO 416-636-7057 or via email at: [email protected]
