      Aeronautical marking: Plane part traceability

      Industrial marking for the aeronautical sector

      MARKING TECHNOLOGY

      WHAT DO YOU WANT TO MARK?

      Dot peen

      This is definitely the best option if you want speed in the process. Additionally, it offers great mark depth with very high reliability.

      It also has built-in technology that sets it apart from the rest: there is notfaster aeronautical marking on the entire market.

      Scribe

      This kind of marking for plane parts tends to work and is absolutely necessary for projects that require silent and effective methods.

      To mark this way, it uses a diamond or tungsten carbide needle, obtaining very precise results that no other alternative in industrial marking in the aeronautical sector is capable of achieving.

      Laser

      Marking plane parts with the COUTH® laser is highly valued, thanks to its fast action.

      As an added value, it maintains stability and output power, providing a result that lasts over time for all parts.

      SECTORS

      MARKING IN THE AERONAUTICAL SECTOR

      COUTH® has different marking solutions for plane parts within the sector.

      These services comply with all regulations in the aeronautical sector: ATA Spec 2000 Chapter 9, AS9132 belonging to the ATA and IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group), as well as NASA standards NASA-STD-6002 and NASA-HDBK-6003.

      With this and other factors, we seek high traceability for plane parts. COUTH® offers aeronautical marking solutions that achieve precise legibility for the mark on each part.

      PARTS

      PARTS FOR THE AERONAUTICAL SECTOR

      TURBINE BLADES

      So that turbine blades can resist the great mechanical tension caused while they operate, where they must withstand 1,500ºC at 10,000 RPM, COUTH® provides aeronautical marker machines that do not alter their metallographic composition with the latest dot peen, scribe, and laser technologies.

      LANDING GEAR

      To mark plane parts, and specifically the landing gear, COUTH® uses these three innovative marking techniques (dot peen, scribe, and laser), depending on the specific need for the part or all of them at different moments throughout the process.

      BRAKE DISCS

      For the best traceability for plane parts, including brake discs, COUTH® offers the possibility of switching between the different marking techniques in existence, depending on each part’s needs and adaptability.

      APPLICATION OF AERONAUTICAL MARKING TECHNIQUES

      Applying different techniques to mark plane parts is a delicate process that requires great experience and knowledge of the aeronautical sector, the techniques to use, and the characteristics and needs of each part.

      For this reason, COUTH® provides visual examples of the work executed under legal and quality standards.

      WHY MAKE MARKS ON PLANE PARTS?

      Now that we know the different industrial marking techniques for the aeronautical sector and some of the parts that this latest technology is applied to, we can better understand the advantages of having a specialised company to conduct these tasks.

      Improved plane part traceability

      Precise aeronautical marking allows you to quickly and easily identify each part, reducing in turn the possibility of making mistakes in storing or selecting parts that require repair.

      Moreover, it provides a complete view of the part throughout the entire installation trajectory.

      Increased safety

      Aeronautical marking helps and makes it easier to verify the authenticity of a part to prevent the installation of falsified parts that could compromise the flight’s safety.

      Moreover, it provides proof of the part’s quality, maintaining the aircraft’s structural integrity.

      Regulatory Compliance

      Appropriate, professional marking ensures compliance with national and international regulations in the aeronautical sector, avoiding sanctions for the company and facilitating all trans-border operations.

      In the same fashion, it streamlines all administrative and auditing protocols.

      Cost optimisation

      As seen, making mistakes in any process (repairs, administration, storage, etc.) can entail a high cost in resources to fix them.

      Optimised aeronautical marking prevents this from happening, and also increases the business’ operational efficiency.

      New technologies

      In addition to administrative benefits, having a specialised industrial marking service in the aeronautical sector means huge profits for the company long-term.

      A service well-done provides great mark durability, preventing deterioration in adverse situations like rust or high temperatures.

      It also provides exceptional precision, making it easy to apply to small parts.
