Essentials for Excellence in Aerospace Manufacturing: One-day conference

If this sounds like your business, then ‘Essentials for Excellence in Aerospace Manufacturing’ is a collaborative one day conference that could provide some of the answers to these multi-faceted problems. Organised by CGTech and TTL, the conference will be held between 9.30am and 3.30pm at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), Ansty, Coventry, on Thursday, 26th November 2015.

Aimed primarily at precision engineering companies involved with the production of aero structure components ‘Essentials for Excellence in Aerospace Manufacturing’ has been developed to address the challenges faced by manufacturers within the industry.  

Illustrating an end-to-end programming and verification process the presentations by CGTech, Siemens PLM and TTL will highlight reducing the lead-time required for installing machine turnkeys by using virtual simulation to prove the technology; component optimisation with the efficient reprogramming of parts already in production to take advantage of the latest machine performance and capability, as well as reducing time with knowledge re-use.

Knowledge Re-use will be the focus of TTL, it includes the original CAD model, associativity with Siemens NX CAD/CAM software, toolpath generation, templates and libraries. This is logically followed by Simulation and Verification presented by CGTech, and will consider the VERICUT link to Siemens NX and the transfer of fixtures, tool library and stock materials.

The next step in the chain is NC Toolpath Verification, and CGTech will focus on verification and capture of mistakes leading to an error-free part and comparing the machined part to the original design using the Autodiff module. TTL will then consider and compare different machining strategies and the Replacement Assistant that incorporates design change, for easy reprogramming of any parts. The shopfloor application of VERICUT’s collaborative tool, Reviewer, that can run on PCs and Apple iPads, provides the final link in the process chain.
