B777 Lipskin
Klune provides the lip skin for the Boeing 777 extended range version. This case study features our patented bulge forming and semi-automated polishing process.
Challenge
Klune has to manage for this program some very large parts as the lip skin is composed only of two segments with challenging tolerances and surface finish requirements.
Remedy
Therefore Klune has set-up a specific area in its North Hollywood division dedicated to the management of the Boeing 777 lip skin components. The finishing process has been partially automated to ensure consistency in production and a specific quality control process has been put in place.
Results
Klune industries has been running this program for the Boeing 777 for 5+ years, supporting a high build-rate and meeting our customers challenging quality requirements.
