About ”Aviation Industry Support Laboratory”

言語: 日本語

TIRI established ”Aviation Industry Support Laboratory” on 2017, to enhance technical support for aviation industry, for example: specialized testing service for aviation standards, advice for technical verification on preproduction parts, …etc.

Support Contents

Support for technical verification on preproduction parts (For aviation industry cluster "TMAN"）

Aviation Industry Support Laboratory provides technical support for receiving orders for aircraft parts from abroad and domestically through technical verification on preproduction parts.

Example of support:Technical support for manufacturing and functional testing of POPPET SET

POPPET SET is the aircraft part that controls the air pressure inside, and about 50 of them are fitted in each aircraft.

Since this part is required airtightness, it have to be machined with high precision. We supplied technical support for manufacturing, and examined and implemented the air leak test.

Collaborative projects (For aviation industry cluster "TMAN")

Collaborative projects between TIRI and TMAN SMEs. For example, manufacturing process efficiency, trial with simulation for improved production, stable supply of production, and so on.

Project case: Bending aluminum thin-walled waveguides

In the aerospace industry, aluminum thin-walled tubes as waveguides are used to reduce weight, and bending is required to mount waveguides in a limited space. In the past, it was difficult to form thin-walled aluminum waveguides because they were occurred to defects such as wrinkling and cracking, but through collaborative project conducted by a waveguide manufacturer and TIRI, forming has become possible with minimal defects.

Project case: Finding a solution to a challenge for electricity transfer swivel

In order to prevent galling of threads of electricity transfer swivel in cargo transportation, we conducted suitable conditions such as heat treatment.

Specialized testing service for aviation standards (Paid services)

 ”Aviation Industry Support Laboratory” specialized testing services for aviation standards, i.e. ASTM standards and FAR.

Study groups  (For aviation industry cluster "TMAN")

To comprehend a technologies and systems about the aviation industry, study groups have been formed and held meetings since 2023.

• TMAN special process (SP) study group,  nondestructive testing (NDT) section

Workshops  (For aviation industry cluster "TMAN")

Workshops have been held using the drawings of retired aircraft parts.

Parts manufactured in the workshop have been displayed at air shows.

Dispatch aviation advisers  （Previously known as dispatch experts, For aviation industry cluster "TMAN"）

Aviation advisors are dispatched to SMEs for support solve problems.
