Using a solid granite base table – along with a vertical, horizontal, gantry or bridge-mounted arm, and touch probe – measurements would be taken and compared in blocks to an engineering file, first as 2D drawings and today as computer aided design (CAD) files hosted in the cloud. Anyone looking at processing complete components may want to do a little more homework to fully understand the OEM’s requirements before they get started. When size really matters, Nikon Metrology offers truly flexible and reliable gantry CMMs. And while the opportunities are there, OEMs are anything but forgiving and make the highest demands for quality and precision. Solución de problemas del proceso de inspección automatizado: Equipos, programas, accesorios, etc. These materials have a higher dynamic shear strength which means they require higher cutting forces and have poor thermal conductivity where the heat from the cut goes into the tooling rather than the chip. After giant aerospace companies duke it out for lucrative defense and commercial airline contracts, the subcontracting games begin. EMO Hannover 2017 Machine Tools Roundtable, A Mitsubishi LT-400M turning center lathe with live tooling for milling capabilities, SiAlON ceramics (silicon, aluminum, oxygen, and nitrogen) for nickel-based materials for roughing applications, Solid carbide end mills (for high- speed machining techniques), Taichung International Exhibition Center; Greater Taichung Int’l Expo Center, Nearly 1 million square feet of exhibition space, Factory tours available for eight Taichung manufacturers (, © 2020 GIE Media, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Both solutions offer accurate and contactless inspection capabilities that are used within a wide variety of large volume measurement and inspection applications: aircraft fuselage section analysis, tool assembly and alignment inspection as well as the inspection of aircraft engine inlet cowls and checking the geometry of aircraft wing. The workpiece acts as anode (positive) and the tool as cathode (negative). Everyone wants to monitor production from a phone or a tablet,” Chen says. Shops working with aerospace components should know about trochoidal and high-speed machining techniques which allow for low radial engagement and higher feed rates. EMAG ECM experts have an on-site laboratory at their headquarters in Gaildorf, near Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, which allows feasibility studies and preliminary investigations on single- and multi-axis machines. The high feed rates required to make machining economical also make machining filigree geometries difficult. For supersize fuselage and wing parts, leading aircraft manufacturers count on Laser Radar and iGPS, two revolutionary solutions based on innovative laser technologies. Typical systems offer measurement accuracies to 4+L/100µm referring to the VDI 2630 metrology guideline. Unique XT H 450 micro-focus X-ray and CT system for turbine blade and casting inspection. Plus, in this manner, companies develop a universal metrology scenario by augmenting existing CMM technologies with 3D and CT scanning capabilities, making their quality assurance (QA) department more powerful from the outset. 3D laser scanning and industrial computed tomography (CT) – based on technology developed for medical scanning – permit reading external and internal points on various substrates in many manufacturing techniques. Honeywell Aerospace products and services are found on virtually every commercial, defense and space aircraft in the world. Adams Rite Aerospace We employ a talented staff of engineers from various disciplines to ensure innovation at all steps of the development process. Lynn Yen, business planning officer for Asia Pacific Elite Corp., says her company has developed large machining centers for aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components to expand its work with aerospace suppliers.
