In the field of aviation composite material processing, aramid paper honeycomb materials are favored for their lightweight and high strength characteristics, but their special porous structure poses severe challenges to precision processing. Traditional processing methods often lead to material collapse and burr residue, especially when cutting at small angles, which causes serious tool wear. A certain aviation manufacturing company was unable to achieve cutting at an angle below 18°, which seriously restricted the development progress of a certain type of drone wingtip structure.
Record of technological breakthroughs
After the company introduced the MID solution, it achieved four key breakthroughs within three months:
Breakthrough in reducing the cutting angle to below 18°
The tool temperature is stably controlled from 60℃ to 30℃
The integrity of the honeycomb grid reaches 99.7%, without any collapse and deformation
The finish of the machined surface Ra≤0.8μm, completely eliminating burrs
MID solutionportfolio
According to the characteristics of honeycomb materials, MID customized configuration:
1. five-axis linkage machining center
2.Special tool system with ultrasonic vibration frequency of 30kHz
3. Patented cold air cooling device (temperature fluctuation ±1.5℃)
4.Adaptive angle compensation algorithm
Actual application data shows that this solution extends the tool life by 6 times, shortens the single-piece processing time by 42%, and increases the yield rate from 67% to 98%. Especially in 3D special-shaped contour processing, dust emissions are reduced by 80%, and the workshop environment is significantly improved.

Industry value extension
The success of this case verifies the universal value of ultrasonic machining technology in the field of aviation composites. In addition to aramid honeycombs, MID solutions have been expanded to high-end material processing such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and ceramic matrix composites (CMC), providing reliable guarantees for lightweight manufacturing of aircraft.
