Greg Groth, Exact Metrology Division Manager, provides insight into aerospace industry trends and the benefits of recent metrology developments

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company, a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, has recently seen an uptick in requests for scanning large aerospace components.  Greg Groth, Division Manager at Exact Metrology’s Brookfield, Wisconsin location shares his thoughts on this development.

It is widely known that the aerospace industry has long been a driver of 3D scanning and the implementation of this technology into quality systems.  When speaking of the surge in interest in scanning from aerospace customers, Groth said, “As the scanning technology’s accuracy has improved and data collection has become much faster, the viability of scanning full vehicles or component level parts has seen a dramatic increase in demand.”

For example, scanning an airplane exterior can now be completed in a matter of days when, in the past, it would take up to a week. Additionally, data processing has also become much quicker with advancements made in software and data handling. Groth added that he has seen the number of full aircraft scans nearly triple in the last year at his company.

For scanning projects of this size, Exact Metrology uses a combination of laser trackers and long-range scanners. The use of these high-precision metrology instruments allows quick scanning of large volumes as well as control of the scan-to-scan for fit and accuracy. Additionally, the alignment challenges that have long been present in the aerospace industry have been greatly reduced with the innovative capabilities of both laser trackers and today’s long-range scanners.

With aluminum continuing to be the most often used material in manufacturing aerospace skins and components, advancements made in metrology instruments now allow for highly accurate scanning both indoors in an environmentally controlled condition and outdoors when conditions are less than ideal. Newer technology can combat both the high reflectivity of chrome finishes and material expansion.

Due to scale, the metrology instruments used by Exact Metrology can vary.  Groth commented that the same level of precision may not be required for a full body scan as the required specifications for panels or component level details. For these tight tolerance areas, Exact Metrology will use higher precision scanners such as PCMMS (Portable Coordinate Measurement Machines) or Structured Light scanners.

Fastening of components and structure sections is also critical. Exact Metrology specialists can leverage several different pieces of equipment with the current bandwidth of metrology hardware. For example, if off-vehicle and internal structural information is needed, CT scanning can be used.  CT scanners have the ability to assess a clogged fuel line or a small manifold, for example, including evaluation of cracks or manufacturing imperfections such as porosity.

Discussing the importance of having highly precise and accurate inspection data for the aerospace industry, Groth said, “The precision we’re achieving on scans allows for more accurate duplication in reverse engineering applications, while the precise representation increases the confidence in part validation on the inspection.  Accurate representations allow for more improved virtual testing such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis) or any flow based testing.”

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company, is ISO9001, AS9100 Certified as well as ITAR Registered. 

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company, with facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio, Moline, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plus affiliated offices throughout the country, is a comprehensive metrology services provider, offering customers 3D and CT scanning, reverse engineering, quality inspection, product development and 2D drawings.

Different types of CNC machines will appear in smart factories. Here’s what you need to know about upgrading and updating your machines.

By Russell Riddiford, President of ANCA Americas

Manufacturing has moved on from simple cutting tools. Your customers expect you to create high-quality tools from top-end materials, with little room for error. It’s now about the end-to-end process, from sourcing the best materials to providing the best customer experience, and it relies on networked machines and devices. As expectations for cutting tools have changed, so has the equipment you use to stay competitive. The types of CNC machines you use can make or break your position in your toolmaking niche.

Future factories need software as much as hardware

You may have heard of toasters that know when we’re running out of bread, or devices that know they need servicing before we do. They are the cheap thrills of the Internet of Things (IoT). But your factory can also benefit substantially from the Internet of Things, whether it’s predicting when a machine needs to be serviced, monitoring its performance or noticing when stock levels are low. (And, maybe, adding a USB-connected sandwich press to the lunchroom.)

That’s where software becomes key. Smart factories that want the benefits of the IoT rely on connectivity. Machines must have access to software that connects them to an internal network, where every part of the system is able to interact. You might even connect them to a wider network, using information from customer and supplier networks to create more streamlined processes.

Software can have an impact in other ways, too. Our latest product introduced new features to cutting tools, allowing for more complex cutting tool geometries. Some industries have different requirements. For example, aerospace and power generation use hard and soft materials requiring different geometries of cutters for machining them. We have introduced new geometries in software to manufacture special cutters for those processes.

The right software is also a vital component in having different types of CNC machines “talk” to each other. In the past, machines using different protocols, or from different manufacturers, might not have been able to interact with systems inside the factory. Software on the machines allows them to send data to a central location, where it can be distributed in a form every machine – and person – can understand.

Some types of CNC machines can come with you on the journey

We’ve found that around 95% of machines in use today are 10 years old or less. That’s good news for your factory – often they are still capable of moving to the latest software and adding on accessories that can be used in automation. For example, you might be able to retrofit:

• Laser measurement
• Network connectivity
• Electrical controls
• Operating systems
• Automated processes and libraries

Retrofits mean you can avoid replacing your machines wholesale. Updating them one-by-one will allow you to keep your factory running with minimal downtime and cost so your customer engagement is not disrupted.

Functionality is always improving and expanding. CNC machines aren’t phones – you won’t be installing cutters or grinders that can fit in your pocket or fold up – but a machine of the same size will do more than it does now. The types of CNC machines you were installing fifteen years ago are being replaced by better, faster and more comprehensive models. For example, CNC milling machines have moved from four-axis to six-axis and have added spiralling to their capability. As the machines improve so do their cutting processes and productivity, becoming faster, more precise, and easier to monitor.

Take it one step at a time. Refit or replace machines that will give you the quickest wins, updating your factory’s capability quickly and cost-effectively.

Closed-loop manufacturing is coming – with or without you

Looking to the future is vital. Don’t upgrade or replace your CNC machines without considering what business advantages you are trying to achieve. In your smart factory, you’ll be competing not only on range and precision, but also in terms of specialization, customer experience and time to market. CNC machines that make it easier to build to order will allow you to carry less stock, lower upfront costs and reduce inefficiencies. Market-leading smart factories need to know exactly what their customers need and that’s exactly what newer machines will provide.

And then there’s complete business transformation. Over the next 5-10 years, tool manufacturers will be using their technology to completely eliminate waste – and they’re planning for it already. This ‘closed-loop’ approach to manufacturing means only ordering and using exactly what you need. Nothing will be sent to landfill or left on the factory floor. It’s a world which will be better for the environment, better for customers, and better for your bottom line.

There are many options for bringing your CNC machines into the future. Whether you retrofit software and accessories, or replace your machines with the latest models, you’re investing in a future that’s efficient, connected and more profitable.
