Temporary Masking

MTU Aero Engines, a leading German manufacturer of military and civil aircraft engines, sought an efficient and repeatable alternative to manually applied masking tapes for their valuable components. By implementing Dymax Speedmask and automated dispensing equipment to the process, the team at MTU greatly increased throughput, reduced costly rejects, and achieved near zero tolerance levels.

A manufacturer of landing gear and actuation systems for the aerospace market was looking for efficiencies in their electroless nickel plating process. They wanted to automate the masking process and increase throughput, which they achieved with Dymax SpeedMask 7601 and a Dymax BlueWave 200 UV curing lamp.

A leading UK aerospace company commissioned Astech Projects to build a bespoke Automated Masking System to mask complex areas of aircraft components in order to avoid precious metal coverage during the manufacturing process. Astech worked with Intertronics to incorporate precision volumetric dispensing, Dymax SpeedMask resin, and high intensity UV curing lamps.
