S7 launches first automated plant for production of Airbus panels in Russia

During base maintenance checks such as C-Check, 30-80 percent of the aircraft cabin panels are replaced
Aircraft panels will be manufactured from composite materials approved by milling on a high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) machine

If stable demand in the market arises they will further modernize the production area for the manufacturing of panels for Boeing and Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft

5 July 2021: S7 Technics have launched the first automated plant for the production of Airbus aircraft panels in Russia. Aircraft panels will be manufactured from composite materials by milling on a high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) machine made by the Czech company Volter. The complex of works, starting with graphic processing (creating a 3D model of panels, preparing programs for CNC machines) and ending with certificate release for a finished product, will be performed by experienced S7 Technics specialists who have already completed the training in working with CNC equipment and programming.

Maxim Akchurin, S7 Technics Business Development Project Manager said, “During base maintenance checks such as C-Check, 30-80 percent of the aircraft cabin panels are replaced according to redelivery check from 60 percent to 90 percent. Our own production of panels will speed up the process of replacing them on aircraft that are undergoing maintenance, thereby reducing the TAT (turn-around-time).”

S7 Technics will focus on the production of panels for A320 Family aircraft; however, if stable demand in the market arises they will further modernize the production area for the manufacturing of such panels for Boeing and Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft.
