Omni Aerospace sees blue skies with addition of Starrag ECOSPEED F 1540 machines

Omni has two ECOSPEED F 1540 machines integrated into an automated Flexible Manufacturing System

With the bright glint of the sun ricocheting off the wide expanse of an airplane's wing as one settles into flight, it’s easy to recognise the skill, technology and precision it takes to build these flying machines.
Wichita, Kansas, is home to those skills. The aero manufacturing hub of the United States is home to companies like Omni Aerospace, which designs and manufacturers complex metal components for companies like Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin, Spirit AeroSystems, Textron Aviation and the Department of Defense.

Starrag has played an integral role in the success of Omni Aerospace, a 25-year-old company founded by CEO John J. O’Neill. “We took our company to the next level by investing in technology equipment that can do things other people can’t do with their equipment,” said O’Neill of Starrag’s ECOSPEED F 1540 in a YouTube feature on Omni. “It’s been a game changer for us. It’s a unique piece of machinery that is unmatched for speed and accuracy.”

1. Challenge:
Omni Aerospace needed to produce large, flight-ready parts within the design tolerance and surface finishes in a time-sensitive manner.

2. Solution:
Starrag’s ECOSPEED F 1540 provides unmatched throughput for complex aluminium structural parts with payloads up to three-tons and unparalleled accuracy as well as an extremely high surface finish that requires no hand finishing.

3. Result:
Omni Aerospace expanded its product offerings triggering a significant sales increase. Starrag opened new markets for Omni because of the speed, power and accuracy of the ECOSPEED F 1540.
