10Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this market consultation?
The purpose is to collect detailed supplier and product information to broaden knowledge regarding the possibilities and capabilities of the vehicles. This information will be used for the further project strategy and the drafting of the necessary tender documents.
What requirements are imposed on process reliability and logging?
The system must log critical process parameters, such as gas flows, powder feed, and spray parameters, in real-time per component and serial number. The machine must intervene automatically in the event of deviations from the recipe to guarantee process reliability for aviation certifications.
Which technical performance requirements must the hardware meet?
For HVOF, the hardware must be able to achieve a consistent bond strength of more than 70 MPa with a porosity of less than 1%. For APS, a porosity level of 2-5% is required to comply with the standards SAE AMS 2447 and AMS 24...
How must the system handle production variations and security?
The architecture must support 'first-time-right' production by compensating in real-time for nozzle wear or variations in back pressure. Additionally, digital process recipes in the software must be fully shielded against unauthorized changes on the shop floor.
