Engineering

From the Latin, the term design means “throw forward” expressing the deeper meaning of the existence: innovation. Being the realization of what has always been projected ahead, the design is the resolution of technological problems. These concepts are the basic values of AIPHOS.

AIPHOS’s design method is performed with modern virtual technologies (CAD-CAE-DMU), which guarantee safety and reliability of the products and facilitate the manufacturing chain.

The results achieved by AIPHOS for Customers, involves the fields of innovation in the transport sector. Specifically the studies, the analysis and achievements are focused on the field of innovative materials and advanced manufacturing.

- For a leading company in the automotive sector, we studied an innovative method for joining composite materials (laminates).  Specifically, the technology consists in the using of electromagnetic induction to weld / glue different structural composites.  Our technology is a solution for the problem of joints on composite materials, which have difficulties to be riveted for reasons related to mechanical stress. This study, developed for the automotive industry, can also be implemented to further transport sectors.

- For a company leader in the naval sector, we have studied, designed and built, the best configuration of the composite material to ensure high vibro-acoustic  efficiency for the ship bulkheads. The used composite, sandwich type, also ensures a high thermal insulation.

- For a company leader in aerospace, AIPHOS is building a special electromechanical fixture to weld titanium components with the LFW principle (Linear Friction Welding). The LFW Fixture is rigidly linked to the pallet of a milling cutter. The equipment allows to perform the linear friction welding (max 70 Hz) for non axisymmetric components at a lower cost than buying the dedicated machine.


 

- For a company leader in the civil sector, we are making a special bunker door, which will be mounted in a nuclear research center (Romania). The door (weighing about 100 tons, as an aircraft at full load) must rotate around its axis in order to ensure the passage of heavy vehicles in the building. The difficulty lies in the appropriate sizing of the kinematics involved in the structure.

- For the rail sector we have been activated research projects for technological development of composite materials and metal alloys in order to improve their characteristics. We have the scope of ensuring the repeatability of the series production regarding the equipments and the heavy medium carpentry components. Within our staff, to the relevant part of the railway sector, we enjoy the collaboration of engineers and technical operators experienced in the construction and overhaul of railway components with a solid experience of the product Tramwave®.
