Aerospace manufacturing component / tooling racks

Scope

To design and manufacture a large quantity of caged component racks for us in an aerospace manufacturing environment – To be movable by hand and have a roll-up curtain front.

Solution

Project REF: AD-965-2016-02-5 / 12959-P1

This order was for over 70 units to be delivered in batches – Here we see 10 units being prepared for shipping to the customer.

A caged component rack is a secure, organized storage system with a metal frame and mesh walls, used to house valuable aerospace parts. It provides physical security while maintaining visibility and access control.

Key Benefits

1. Security for High-Value Parts

Protects precision aerospace components from unauthorized access, theft, and accidental damage. Lockable cages meet industry security standards.

2. Organization and Traceability

Supports clear labeling, easy inventory management, and integration with barcode or RFID tracking—essential for meeting aerospace quality standards like AS9100.

3. Contamination Protection

Acts as a barrier against dust, oils, and foreign object debris (FOD), critical for maintaining part cleanliness and supporting FOD prevention programs.

4. Space Optimization

Maximizes vertical storage, keeps floors clear, and allows modular configurations to adapt to changing production needs.

5. Compliance with Aerospace Standards

Helps meet customer and regulatory requirements for secure, segregated storage and protects against non-conformance during audits.

Common Use Cases

• Pre-assembly staging of components

• Quarantine for non-conforming parts

• Secure storage of calibrated tools and gauges

• Material organization by production order
