Delcam will promote its range of manufacturing software and process development services at the Aerospace Supplier Exchange event to be held at the Singapore Expo from 27th to 29th May. In addition, Hans Kunen, Manager of the South-East Asian Division of Delcam's Professional Services Group, will present a paper on "Trends in Aerospace Manufacturing and MRO'' at the associated conference.
The aerospace industry demands the highest levels of quality and consistency, plus cost-effective production and the shortest-possible delivery times. Delcam's wide range of software and services helps companies both large and small to meet these requirements.
Delcam systems have been used, at some stage, on virtually every major aircraft programme in recent years. Companies using the software have undertaken projects in all the various areas that go towards producing a successful aircraft, from developing more fuel-efficient engines, to manufacturing airframe components more effectively, and even in designing more comfortable and more attractive interiors. They have worked on all scales of project, from the manufacture of components for UAVs and helicopters up to the production of engines and airframes for the largest passenger and transport aircraft.
Delcam also supports a large number of MRO operations. These companies use Delcam software to enable the fast, efficient repair or replacement of worn or damaged components. By minimising design and manufacturing times, while guaranteeing the highest levels of quality, Delcam systems allow repairs to be completed as quickly as possible, so minimising the lost operating time of the aircraft.
For more complex manufacturing and repair operations, Delcam's Professional Services Group can develop customised solutions. Most of these projects involve the development of turn-key work cells using Delcam's adaptive machining technology. Adaptive machining uses a combination of machining and inspection technology to allow the production of complex components to a consistently high level of accuracy and quality. Typically, the systems involve a high level of automation, allowing them to be operated by lower-skilled staff.
