Thommen Aircraft Equipment AG has announced the recent completion of a state-of-the- art ISO Class 5 cleanroom and display manufacturing line at the company’s headquarters in Muttenz, Switzerland.
The project is part of a business strategy as Thommen is expanding its range of services with a first-class display manufacturing capability.
The new cleanroom has been designed to allow cutting LCDs (liquid crystal displays) into the desired sizes for tailored applications in aircraft cockpits or mission systems.
“LCD displays can be physically reshaped or resized for special avionics integrations, where off-the-shelf products often do not meet customer specifications,” the company explains in a statement.
With its full air-conditioned cleanroom, Thommen can now provide dust-free lamination and assembly for avionic and mission displays, but also for other kinds of sensitive equipment, under strict temperature and humidity control, in compliance with the most stringent standards in the industry.
