Cincinnati Machine feels aerospace boom benefit

This year, Cincinnati Machine, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA expects to ship a record 10 fibre-placement and tape-laying machines to meet the buoyant aerospace industry’s growing composite parts production needs.

This is up from nine machines in the previous year. Aerospace programmes driving this include the Airbus A380 and Boeing's new 787, says Cincinnati.com.

The Cincinnati Machine site has also started to produce sister company Giddings & Lewis’ horizontal boring mills, vertical turning centres and large horizontal machining centres with the release of 20,000 sq ft following the departure of the Maintenance Technologies operation, which has moved to a 51,000 sq ft warehouse elsewhere in the city, it adds.

Giddings & Lewis in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA started production of machine bases and other structures for Cincinnati Machine in April to support the assembly of these machines at the newly expanded facility.

Maintenance Technologies’ provides service and support for all 11 of Maxcor’s machine-tool companies (Maxcor purchased Cincinnati Machine in 2005 as part of an 11-company acquisition).
