BUILD TO SPEC AIRBORNE AVIONICS WORKSTATION


APPLICATION:

Aerospace. Multi-monitor workstation with a folding table leaf.

CHALLENGE:

This customer asked Rock West to assist with the design and manufacture of a lightweight multi-monitor workstation with a folding table leaf. This technical aerospace program required tight tolerances and material certifications.

SOLUTION

Rock West came up with an innovative solution utilizing our high quality, off-the-shelf products. It incorporated our carbon fiber tubing with custom CARBONNect™ connectors and fittings. This enabled a high-tech, mechanically assembled workstation at an affordable price. The lightweight system is comprised of 100% aerospace-grade hardware with certifications. The customized CARBONNect™ fittings were produced using an exceptionally strong alloy aluminum and 100% helical inserts.
