Our automated line concept has been proven to drive out recurring costs, streamline the manufacturing cycle and minimize the risk associated with automated manufacturing and assembly.

Gemcor’s fuselage systems have supported the aerospace industry for the past 75 years. Our modern, all-electric fastening technology offers a reliable, easy-to-use solution for any fuselage application. From simple, semi-automatic to 7-axis CNC solutions, all systems feature countersink depth control, active panel protection and resilient clamping.
