Examples of technologies utilized in the drone industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing is widely used in drone manufacturing to reduce weight and achieve high rigidity. In particular, CFRP is used in the manufacture of parts such as frames, arms, propellers, landing legs, and camera mounts, enabling improvements in flight time and mobility by reducing the overall weight of the airframe. CFRP also has higher specific strength than metal and is resistant to vibration and impact, leading to highly precise flight control and stability. It also has excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance, making it an ideal material for use outdoors and in harsh environments.

金属3Dプリント

Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D printing is utilized for drone frames, motor mounts, cooling structures, and other components to achieve both lightweight and high rigidity. Especially in fields where flight stability and energy efficiency are required, integrated molding through optimal design directly leads to improved component performance, contributing to the creation of competitive products.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal fabrication technology is utilized in drone manufacturing to produce lightweight and highly rigid metal parts. It is mainly employed in the manufacture of structural components such as motor mounting plates, frame components, battery cases, landing arms, and camera mounts. Sheet metal fabrication involves cutting, bending, and welding lightweight metals such as aluminum and titanium, enabling the reduction of overall airframe weight while ensuring durability and flight stability.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting technology is an indispensable processing technique for manufacturing metal parts that require high precision in drone manufacturing. It is mainly used to manufacture motor mounts, propeller shafts, bearing parts for gimbal mechanisms, flight controller cases, and heat dissipating parts with cooling fins. Aluminum, carbon materials, stainless steel, and other materials can be machined with high precision using machining centers and lathes, resulting in stable flight performance and reduced vibration.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding technology is a processing method suitable for mass production of lightweight and complexly shaped plastic parts in drone manufacturing. It is mainly employed in the manufacture of propellers, frame covers, battery housings, camera cases, wiring connectors, and sensor covers. Injection molding enables the use of engineering plastics to produce parts with excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, and insulation properties. Integral molding reduces the number of parts, which in turn reduces assembly man-hours and costs. Another major advantage is that it is easy to mass-produce, enabling the supply of parts of stable quality in a short period of time.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that plastically deforms materials below their recrystallization temperature, and is widely used in the manufacture of parts for drones. Cold working is an ideal processing technology for drone components, which must be lightweight yet strong enough to withstand loads during flight. Cold working is important in increasing the strength of parts because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it can produce thin and lightweight parts while increasing strength. In addition, it provides precise dimensional accuracy, allowing us to meet the manufacturing requirements of drone parts, which require complex shapes and precise dimensions. Durability and corrosion resistance are also important for drones, which are often used outdoors. Improved surface finish by cold working can enhance these performances.

Examples of materials utilized in the drone industry

Titanium Alloys
Titanium alloys are lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials. In drone manufacturing, it is used for motor mounts, frame joints, shafts, landing legs, and other components that require high durability and precision. Although slightly heavier than aluminum, it has the same rigidity and superior fatigue resistance, and its advantage is that it can maintain performance over long periods of use and in high-load environments. It is also rust-resistant and reliable in harsh environments such as outdoors or along the sea, making it suitable for high-performance and high-durability drone components.
engineering plastics
Engineering plastics are widely used in drone manufacturing for components that are both lightweight and functional. For example, POM has excellent sliding and abrasion resistance, making it an ideal material for gears and moving parts. PC (polycarbonate) has high impact resistance and transparency and is used for sensor covers and light covers. Besides, PA (nylon) combines flexibility and heat resistance and is used for connectors, parts of propellers, and cable guides. These resins are lighter than metals and have excellent formability, making it possible to manufacture parts with complex shapes in a short time, which is a major advantage.
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)
CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a very important material in drone manufacturing because of its lightweight and high rigidity characteristics. It is mainly used for structural components such as frames, arms, propellers, and landing legs, contributing to longer flight time and improved battery efficiency by reducing airframe weight. In addition, its higher specific strength compared to metal and resistance to vibration and impact make it suitable for drones that require high-speed flight and stable control. It also has excellent corrosion resistance, making it strong enough to operate outdoors and in harsh environments, making it possible to manufacture highly durable components.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for Drones

Ensure durability and environmental resistance

In manufacturing parts for drones, it is important to ensure durability and environmental resistance. High-strength materials such as CFRP and aluminum alloys will need to be selected for frames and arms to withstand fatigue caused by vibration, shock, and repetitive motion during flight. In addition, since it is intended for outdoor use, it must have corrosion resistance and weather resistance to cope with environmental factors such as rain, humidity, salt damage, and ultraviolet rays. Long-term stable operation and trouble reduction can be achieved by adopting a waterproof and dustproof structure and selecting materials that are heat- and cold-resistant.

Combination of light weight and high rigidity

In manufacturing components for drones, both light weight and high rigidity have a significant impact on flight performance and safety. A lightweight airframe reduces battery consumption and contributes to longer flight time and improved maneuverability. On the other hand, sufficient rigidity and structural strength are required to withstand vibrations and impacts in the air. Therefore, materials with superior specific strength, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminum alloys, must be used, and the necessary strength must be secured by structural design innovations. Only when this balance is achieved can an efficient and stable drone be manufactured.

High-precision machining and quality control

High-precision machining and thorough quality control are essential in the manufacture of parts for drones. In particular, micron-level dimensional accuracy is required for propeller shafts, motor mounts, and gimbal parts, and even the slightest misalignment can cause vibration and control problems. Therefore, in addition to high-precision machining using machining centers and precision lathes, inspection using CMMs and balance measuring machines is also required in parts manufacturing. Ensuring accuracy and quality as designed will ensure long-term reliability and stable flight.
