Lanneas Ships First Aerospace Cell to Europe — FAQ

What is included in the delivered aerospace cell?+
Three stations working together: a servo twist-pin crimper with force-curve monitoring, an automated pin-retention tester, and a vision station verifying pin presence and alignment. They are specified and documented as one process rather than three separate machines.
Which customer type is the cell built for?+
It is configured for a European aerospace Tier-1 producing military-grade micro-rectangular connectors, where a joint has to be proven rather than assumed.
What does GJB-oriented documentation mean?+
The process documentation follows the Chinese military standard framework used by many defense programs, covering parameters, acceptance criteria and records. Ask your quality team which edition your program cites before commissioning.
How long did installation and qualification take?+
After factory acceptance testing in Shenzhen, the cell shipped, was installed and was qualified at the customer site within three weeks. Remote commissioning and preparation of utilities beforehand shorten that window.
Can the same cell configuration be supplied elsewhere?+
Yes, subject to site requirements and export documentation. Each cell is adapted to the connector family and the quality standard in force, so expect a review of your part and acceptance criteria first.
