Since the beginning of the year in the workshops of «ODK-Saturn» We have already installed more than 30 pieces of equipment, including high-tech equipment. For example, a unique Russian installation for laser cutting and welding of aircraft engine parts began operation. The complex is completely domestic and is produced at an enterprise in Zelenograd, at «ODK-Saturn» it will be used for machining of rotor blades and nozzle blades of aircraft engines. The installation will significantly reduce the production cycle of parts: it will perform several operations at once that were previously performed on different machines.
According to Rostec, new workshops are being commissioned for the production of domestic aircraft engines, and existing facilities are being modernized. Thus, the Rybinsk enterprise «ODK-Saturn» this year will put into operation 200 units of new equipment, in addition, a completely new workshop with a turning and milling machine park will soon open. New equipment, including numerically controlled lathes, will be used in the production of housings and rotating parts.
