TSSD® Aero
EJOT’s invisible innovation as contribution to sustainability in aerospace What is TSSD®? > Friction-welding insert replacing traditional potted inserts in lightweight sandwich materials > Extremely fast installation in a one-step-process without drilling, adhesives and curing time > FST-compliant for safe use in aircraft cabin interiors > No hazardous materials / full recyclability with mono-material setup > Automatization of insert installation replaces manual work
TSSD® Aero Fasteners specifically developed for aerospace interior applications
Behind the cabin linings Just behind the sandwich panel – that‘s where EJOT is – improving the aircraft‘s carbon footprint. TSSD® Aero: Advanced technology for interiors The automotive lightweight construction and efficiency trend was the starting point for the development of TSSD® technology (Thermal adhesive bonding boss) for sandwich materials with honeycomb and foam core structures and their various face sheets. To utilize TSSD® technology in the aerospace industry, both the product and the joining process, were further developed and made suitable for aviation applications – the results are the TSSD® Aero variants.
