AJP (Aerial Jib Platform)

With the Aerial Jib Platform (AJP), CTI Systems introduces a breakthrough solution for safe and efficient access to aircraft in paint hangars. As a ground-based, highly ergonomic access system, the AJP combines maximum flexibility with state-of-the-art safety technology – all without the need for costly ceiling-mounted structures.

Developed specifically for demanding aerospace applications, the AJP meets all requirements in terms of explosion protection, ergonomics, and automation. Its intelligent design and advanced control technology set new standards for productivity and quality in aircraft painting – while paving the way for future robot-assisted applications.

• Ground-based system – no ceiling infrastructure required
• High load capacity – up to 1 ton for tools, personnel, and equipment
• Customizable work baskets – tailored sizes and equipment options
• Fully integrated media supply – compressed air, breathing air, high-pressure water, power, lighting, Ethernet, and more
• Comprehensive safety features – foldable railings, fall protection harness systems, emergency stop functions
• Explosion-proof (ATEX-compliant) – certified for use in paint environments
• Speeds comparable to ceiling-mounted platforms
• Remote control and vector steering – intuitive control for precise positioning

At CTI Systems, safety is the top priority. That’s why the AJP is equipped with Twin Scan Control (TSC) and the Collision Avoidance Assistance System (CAAS) – an intelligent system for the automatic detection and avoidance of collisions with the aircraft, fixed objects (e.g., walls, ceiling), and other platforms.
Thanks to adjustable safety zones, the AJP can be tailored to specific painting processes without compromising safety or efficiency.

The AJP was developed with a strong focus on ergonomics and operator usability:

• The platforms can move seamlessly along the aircraft contour – even in synchronized operation with one another
• Foldable railings allow direct access to the aircraft surface while maintaining maximum safety
• The design enables technicians to work close to the fuselage or wings without restricting mobility
• Multiple AJPs can operate simultaneously without interfering with each other, ensuring greater efficiency and reduced processing times

The AJP is more than just a modern access system – it’s a milestone in the path to fully automated aircraft painting. With features such as:

• Dynamic Path Planning (DPP)
• Data capture for process optimization
• Integration with robotic systems

…the AJP lays the foundation for the next generation of aircraft coating – precise, repeatable, and digitally connected.

The AJP demonstrates its strengths in every stage of the painting process:

1. Preparation – Painters can reach every area, from nose to tail, without scaffolding or lifts
2. Masking – Work precisely and safely with both hands, thanks to stable platforms and smartly placed controls
3. Painting – Smooth, uninterrupted movement along the fuselage for perfect finishes
4. Post-processing – Cleaning and inspection are also efficiently carried out using the AJP

The CTI Aerial Jib Platform is the ideal solution for companies seeking to set new standards in aircraft painting. It combines:

• Maximum flexibility
• Top-tier safety standards
• Excellent operability
• Future-proof design with automation potential

Whether in new constructions or existing hangars, this ground-based platform is easy to integrate and can be custom-configured to meet your needs.
