Our expertise for the aeronautic industry:

When a plane comes out of production lines, it is commonly said that it is a "green" in relationship to the green color of the anti-corrosive paint applied to the cabin. Once the surface is prepared, the plane is washed with water or wipes saturated with solvent, and it is only then that one enters the painting phase (an operation that takes between 6 and 13 days depending on the type of device). A little polish to finish and the device is ready. It takes a hundred liters to paint a medium-haul and up to 500 liters for an Airbus A380. During its life, an airplane is repainted several times. A medium-mail is repainted every five years, a long-haul every seven years.

Our new product range offers great opprotunities for various applications:

  • The FPro for touch-up applications
  • The Nanogun range for external and interior painting
  • Penetrant testing is a method to Non-Destructive Test (NDT) mainly used in Aerospace. This method detects any defects on metal, ceramic & composite parts. Fluorescent NDT is a branch that uses liquid and powder electrostatic guns. This process is completed in 2 or 3 steps with a Sames solution

and robotic applications, and many more given the numerous application opportunities of our equipment!


(1) STRUCTURAL PARTS: NDT (Penetrant application)
(1) STRUCTURAL PARTS: NDT (Penetrant application)

Penetrant (from S1 to S4) applied in manual or automatic electrostatic spray:

  • Significant penetrant & air savings
  • Increase operator comfort
  • Easy to maintain
NDT emulsifier
(1) STRUCTURAL PARTS: NDT (Emulsifier)

This step is only needed when post-emulsified penetrant has already been applied.  Emusifier can be applied by conventional spraying or with the addition of electrostatic effect.
