France – Grinding machines – Fourniture de deux rectifieuses cylindriques à commande numérique (CN) de précision au profit du groupe Usinage de l'Atelier industriel de l'aéronautique de Bordeaux

The Maintenance in Operational Condition (MCO) activities for aircraft engines carried out by the Bordeaux Aeronautical Industrial Workshop for the benefit of the forces involve the rectification of repaired parts as well as the manufacture of spare parts on precision CN cylindrical grinders, machines operated by the Machining Group of the establishment. The current CN cylindrical grinders in place are obsolete. This finding implies their replacement with recent means capable of meeting the specified requirements. These installations are intended to carry out high-precision machining on aeronautical parts and tooling, of medium and small sizes, of complex and varied shapes (machining of individual parts, machining of individual parts, creation of multiple profiles on repaired parts, machining of shapes and threads and machining of small series of parts). They will be used by qualified personnel, 8 hours per day for an average of 200 days per year.
