  • Scale from sample validation to automated production.
Solution Value

Laser value in Aerospace comes from process, automation, and data working together

A single laser process solves the operation, while production teams care about takt time, yield, changeover, and traceability. Cyanbox combines laser, vision, motion, fixtures, and software interfaces into practical cells.

Aerospace precision laser processing

Contact-free processing

Reduce mechanical stress, tool wear, and secondary damage for high-appearance precision parts.

Traceability loop

Generate marks from orders, batches, or inspection results and write records back to production systems.

Automation integration

Connect robots, conveyors, rotary tables, bowl feeders, and vision positioning for continuous production.

Process quality control

Turn process know-how into repeatable standards through recipes, inline inspection, and data upload.

Implementation Path

From sample validation to Aerospace production cells

Validate material response, process window, and takt target first, then define laser source, vision, fixtures, extraction, safety guarding, and data interfaces.

01

Requirement and sample review

Confirm material, dimensions, surface condition, cycle time, marking or processing goals, and site safety boundaries.

02

Sample testing and process window

Validate contrast, kerf, heat impact, cleanliness, code readability, or weld quality through sample trials.

03

Cell and fixture design

Plan optics, guarding, loading, fixtures, fume extraction, and maintenance access for the production cell.

04

Vision and data integration

Connect cameras, code readers, MES / ERP, recipe control, and quality records for traceable production.

05

Ramp-up and optimization

Complete installation, training, cycle-time tuning, process standardization, and ongoing support.

Use Cases

Priority Production Areas for Aerospace

When products need permanent marks, precision processing, flexible changeover, or more stable appearance quality, laser solutions usually show clearer return.

Engine and hot-section parts

Blades, housings, tubes, and superalloy components.

Airframe structures

Thin-wall parts, brackets, cabin parts, and lightweight structures.

Avionics and sensors

Electronic housings, connectors, sensors, and precision assemblies.

Tooling and MRO

Tool identification, cleaning, repair, and low-volume trials.
