The largest amount of change occurs in the ' product and service provision ' section of the standard, which sees the biggest difference in implementation from industry to industry. A number of important requirements involve control of changes to production processes, support after delivery and specific product preservation methods such as shelf life control, which are common within the aerospace industry.
These are just a number of the many additional requirements that AS adds to the IS0 standard for the specific use within the aerospace industry. As a result, these added requirements have little application outside of the industry. If you have parts of your company that are related to this industry or are thinking about adding departments which focus on the aerospace industry, taking the time to look into the possibility of adding the specialised requirements may be of some benefit and a good first step.
If you require any assistance with a quality management system or with achieving ISO certification, please do not hesitate to contact NPT Management Systems today. Log in. The standard also aims to address the needs of stakeholders better. The latest version of AS makes specific improvements to product realization requirements as well as major additions for corrective and preventive actions.
When it comes to creating and maintaining a sound quality management system, the devil is certainly in the details of the standards. This kind of specificity is not exhibited by ISO in general, but for the purposes of AS , these definitions set the stage for the rest of the standard.
Your ability to account for risk management in your quality management system plays a critical role. AS specifies that everyone must have unrestricted access to management when it comes to quality management concerns. For instance, section seven of AS makes specific mention of project management, verification and validation procedures, and post-delivery support. These are only three of the many additions to AS under product realization, which reflect the highly sensitive nature of manufacturing in aerospace and defense.
The most important fact that you should remember about AS is that the standard mirrors ISO only to a certain degree. You should note that AS and ISO , despite their differences, are intertwined to a high degree at the end of the day. While differences do exist, the overarching theme is that changes to ISO affect AS periodically and need to be addressed by your quality management system. When I asked Carolus what potential acquirers are seeking most now, he replied that beyond a strong balance sheet, buyers are looking to add capabilities or content, along with insourcing some capabilities.
Buyers are looking for product or platform diversity. The design is based on a system of tiny, lightweight subunits that could be assembled by small, specialized robots. The wing would be covered by a skin made of overlapping pieces that might resemble scales or feathers, allowing for the pieces to move across each other as the wing flexes, while still providing a smooth outer surface.
The biggest problem was that most of these attempts relied on deforming the wing using mechanical control structures within the wing, but these structures tended to be so heavy that they canceled out any efficiency advantages produced by the smoother aerodynamic surfaces.
They also added complexity and reliability issues. The individual pieces are strong and stiff, but the exact choice of the dimensions and materials used for the pieces, and the geometry of how they are assembled, allow for a precise tuning of the flexibility of the final shape.
Considering airline economics and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, even small improvements in fuel efficiency could be significant. Similarly, repairs could be made by replacing an area of damaged subunits. GibbsCAM reads inventor part model IPT and inventor assembly IAM files, preserving all CAD, color information, hole features, and attributes assigned within Inventor to provide continuity in recognizing and communicating part and feature attributes.
Once machining processes are defined in GibbsCAM, they are automatically updated when the Inventor model is revised. The mm multi-axis, low-profile, self-centering vise features a compact footprint for quick-change pallets systems. Constructed from precision ground series steel for accuracy and repeatability, with the addition of pull studs, this vise is compatible with the Quick-Point system.
The pallet provides accuracy, versatility, and fast changeovers for manufacturing efficiency on multi-axis machines. Standard saw blades and side-chip clearance saws for precision cutting are available in 1" to 8" 20mm to mm dimensions with fine, medium, and coarse tooth pitches. Replacement blades for screw-, Swiss-type, and other machines are also available.
The Powermill travelling gantry, 5-axis milling center allows large workpiece loading on its stationary work table, from overhead or on either end of the machine. Users can also choose a straight milling head with high-speed motorized spindles, or an indexable, 5-axis contouring milling head. The 5-axis waterjet system separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring part quality.
The waterjet is ball-screw driven and features direct-couple AC brushless digital servo motors and single- or double-carriages. Bearing components are protected with metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure. The Edge X-5 is available in sizes from 5ft x 5ft 1,mm x1,mm to 24ft x 13ft 7,mm x 3,mm. An optional second cutting head can be added to double productivity. A 4,cfm, 3hp recirculating blower provides vertical upward airflow from a duct beneath the loading truck to the workload.
The walk-in oven includes a digital programming temperature controller, digital shut down timer with audible alarm, fused disconnect switch, and 8-point internal thermocouple jack panel. The latest release of VISI offers additional speed and quality throughout the design and machining processes.
SideWinder vises mount directly to the back of 6" or 8" Kurt vises, simplifying configuration of two or more vises. Providing vertical workholding without interfering with an existing host vise or the machine spindle, the vises reduce setup time for second operations and improve throughput and productivity levels.
