At the Center for Hybrid Electric Systems Cottbus – chesco – BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg develops, manufactures and tests components for new electric and hybrid-electric aircraft propulsion systems. For the manufacturing division, this means: a variety of projects, challenging materials and geometries, and maximum flexibility in machining.

The machining section of the manufacturing complex, which comprises a total of over 100 machines and systems, also includes three FZ 19 S five axis machines from the CHIRON Group. These three machining solutions combine the flexibility, dynamism and precision of the machining centers with the ProtectLine digital system, a zero-point clamping system and state-of-the-art 3D measurement technology.

Watch the video to find out more about how the CHIRON Group supports chesco in its research projects with manufacturing technology and development expertise.
