Welcome to Aerospace Division Bangalore of HAL (Bangalore Complex).
India’s growing involvement in space exploration is reflected in the establishment of a world class manufacturing base for space worthy hardware. The Aerospace Division of HAL so established is today dedicated to the manufacture of hardware for India’s growing space programs. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd’s participation in space programs started as early as 1972 and formed into a full fledged dedicated facility thereafter.
The Division has the technical expertise to fabricate large size Aluminium Alloy riveted structures, welded propellant tanks and water tanks. Currently under production are the Light Alloy Structures for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), Geo-stationary Launch Vehicle (GSLV MkII), Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS), Indian National Satellite (INSAT) and the structures & welded tanks for the Cryogenic upper stage of GSLV MkII. The Division has taken up full equipping & integration of the strap on L – 40 stage for GSLV MkII and also manufacture of all riveted structures & welded tankages for a larger GSLV MK III vehicle with enhanced capabilities.
The Division’s strength lies in a team of highly motivated professionals. Out of a total strength of 509, 254 personnel are involved in direct production. As many as 39 qualified and trained personnel constitute our quality assurance team.
The Division has been accredited with AS 9100C QMS and ISO 14001:2015 EMS.
1. Machining Facilities- 3 axis, 5Axis and EDM
2. Welding Facilities- TIG, MIG and FSW
3. Forming facilities- Stretch forming, Hydraulic Press, Hydraulic Expander, Conical Rolling
4. Assembly, Integration and Testing Facilities
5. Surface Treatment and Heat Treatment Facilities
6. Inspection Facilities
The Division has developed sub contractor for the following areas .
- Precision machining of Aluminum alloy Rings and other components
- Manufacture of Assembly Jigs and weld tooling.
- Pipe bending and forming of sheet metal stiffeners up to 5 meters long.
- Forming of large domes and dished ends in aluminum alloys by spinning and press forming.
The Division has been accredited with AS 9100 D QMS and ISO 9001 : 2015 Environmental Management System.
Division has been awarded “Gold Medal” by the Society of Aerospace Manufacturing Engineers (SAME) for outstanding contribution in the field of Aerospace Manufacturing.
Division has been awarded with “ National safety Award” by the Ministry of Labour & Employment.
Division Quality Management System is approved as per AFQMS -2018 by DGAQA and valid up to 30th april-2024.Click here
Aerospace Division is engaged in the manufacture of Aluminum alloy riveted structures and welded tankages of conical, cylindrical and other shapes with different types of detailed parts such as sheets, rings, brackets, stiffeners, bulkheads, panel bolts, nuts, rivets etc. Some of the important structures manufactured are Heat Shield Assembly, Nose Cone Assembly and Tank and Shrouds used in Satellites.
