"The Bryant Symons Passenger Cabin Window Machine is capable of producing an optical quality window without the need for further polishing."
Chief Development Engineer, British Airways

Part of the experience of passenger travel is enjoying the beautiful view of the clouds from the window. All major airlines recognize the importance of maintaining scratch free windows but many refurbishment houses have traditionally had to resort to manual labour to cut the window surfaces and remove 'crazing'. This is time consuming, labour intensive and often an expensive process. So what's the solution?

The Bryant Symons aircraft window refurbishment machine solves the problem as it has been specifically designed to reduce process time. The machine harnesses the use of robot loading and control to cut 20 aircraft windows in just under three hours.

how does it work

The refurbishment machine uses diamond technology to achieve a fine surface finish on acrylic aircraft windows. Each window is loaded onto the machine either manually or by robot control and is held in place by a vacuum to ensure a flat machining surface. A flycutting head then uses three single point diamond tools to create a rough, medium and then final cut, removing up to 0.5mm from the surface of the window in one pass.

additional features

bullet point Diamond machining ensures a finer finish than grinding or polishing - providing a more durable finish for each window and reducing the need for frequent repairs.
bullet point Diamond tools are hardwearing and can complete up to 100 passes before they require relapping which makes them very cost efficient.
bullet point The machine is extremely flexible and can accommodate any size passenger aircraft window - an indispensable function for aircraft refurbishment houses who deal with more than one airline.
bullet point The control system's automatic programme includes a pre-operative check to calculate the thickness of each window - reducing the need to measure and calculate manually thus saving man-hours.

A remote diagnostics service is supplied with the machine - enabling the operator to contact our customer service department for operational advice and support if required.

Bryant Symons produce three models of refurbishment machine:

BS3-700R - full automatic cycle with robot loading
BS3-700A - full automatic cycle, manual load
BS3-700M - manual control, manual load

We provide a full training programme to machine operators, operations manuals plus on-going after sales support and spares. The remote diagnostics service also enables machine operators to contact us whenever they require additional advice.

industry uses

The aircraft window refurbishment machine is used by in-house refurbishment facilities of global airlines including British Airways, United Airlines and South African Airlines. The machine can also be used by dedicated out-of-house refurbishment facilities as it can accommodate the passenger windows of any type of aircraft.
