In the aeronautical industry, safety standards require critical parts to be permanently marked to ensure traceability.
Every component, from turbines to fasteners and cabin elements, must be permanently identified and legible throughout its life cycle.
Aeronautical specifications and standards are very specific to this sector: they require perfect marking quality while respecting the integrity of the parts, which must not be affected by the marking. The traceability of parts and components meets the safety, quality, and continuous improvement requirements of the aeronautical industry.
We have been working with the leaders in this sector and their suppliers for many years.
Our test laboratory allows us to evaluate the best laser or micro-percussion marking solutions on aeronautical parts before each project.
These parts are generally made of aluminum, titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, or carbon.
The markings produced—mainly alphanumeric codes or Data Matrix codes—apply to all types of aeronautical components, including propulsion systems, cabin elements, fasteners, and engines.
With our extensive experience in this sector, feel free to contact us to discuss your projects.
The aeronautical industry imposes strict standards in terms of marking and traceability.
The objective of these standards is to establish a rigorous framework for the marking of aeronautical components, ensuring accurate identification and effective traceability throughout the life cycle of the parts, while preserving the structural integrity of the components.
Rolls-Royce JES131 standards
This standard defines the methods and requirements for the marking and identification of components intended for the aerospace industry. It covers both human-readable and machine-readable markings, such as 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix codes.
Rolls-Royce RRES90003 and SAFRAN DT05-89 standards.
These standards describe, in particular, the authorised marking methods according to the specific applications of the components, but also the minimum authorised sizes in order to take into account the constraints and critical areas to be avoided.
SAE AS9132 standard
This standard specifies the requirements for marking aerospace parts using Data Matrix codes. It is widely used in the aerospace industry to ensure the legibility, durability and traceability of critical components.
They trust us
Undercarriage
An aeronautical company wanted to improve the marking of various carbon disk brake products for aircraft landing gear.
More precisely, the customer wants to replace milled marking (alphanumeric) by laser technology and to add a Data Matrix code (alphanumeric and Data Matrix) to optimise their production process.
Control systems
The client wanted to mark a wide variety of meteorological monitoring tools with alphanumeric codes.
Marking extends, for example, from screwdrivers to portable electrical equipment.
The items to be marked not only have different shapes and sizes, but are also made from numerous materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, etc.
In addition, on each batch change and from the perspective of optimising the traceability process…
