Solutions for cost-effective and high-quality machining of aerospace pylon brackets
The pylon brackets found on the wing of the aircraft can have an open or closed design. The main challenge for the closed components is the closed angle and the deep slots.

Slotting solution
When the slot is deep and narrow, side and face cutters provide the best stability and productivity. The cutters can be built into a gang to machine more than one surface in the same plane at the same time.
CoroMill® 331 with internal coolant, dedicated light-cutting geometries for ISO S and S30T and S40T is an optimized solution with adjustable cartridges.

Roughing and finishing 3D pockets with closed angles
Closed angles, less than 90 degrees, are a common component feature in pockets and cavities. Depending on the stability of machine set-up, the slicing method using CoroMill® Plura ball nose end mill is the best choice.
A 4- or 5-axis machine is needed to machine a closed angle. 4 axes: Only one side of the pockets has a closed angle and the bottom shape is flat. 5 axes: There is a corner with closed angles on both sides and a radius at the bottom profile.
The conical ball nose end mills give the choice for high-quality surface finish.
