EVENTS I AERO ENGINEERING 2010 14 AEROSPACEMANUFACTURING | SEPTEMBER 2010
Software Corporation (www.epicor. com) as it will unveil its next generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor 9 during the show. The company will also be presenting
Delcam: PowerMILL CAM software
typically used for high speed pattern machining in model block with others being utilised for trimming, drilling and machining composite components. Utilising the PX5 universal spindle
assembly offering 5-axis movement, all axes move simultaneously and are controlled by the Fanuc 31i control system complete with CMS adaptive control, which allows a complex surface to be produced with a significantly reduced cycle time without compromising surface quality or accuracy. Also of interest, Delcam (www.
delcam.com) will highlight some of the many successful aerospace applications of its PowerMILL CAM software for 5-axis machining. The company claims that many manufacturers have benefited from PowerMILL’s calculation speed, wide range of 5-axis machining strategies and powerful toolpath optimisation tools, including Tritech, Messier-Bugatti and Creuzet Aeronautique. Among the many advantages that
PowerMILL brings to the company, users most appreciate the control over different high speed machining strategies, the smoothness of the toolpaths and the significant reduction in the vibration of the parts during machining. As well as helping to maintain accuracy, this extends the lifetime of both the tooling and the machines. Innovative and flexible solutions will be the name of the game with Epicor
an Open Technology Session where company sales director, Mark Hughes will reveal how ERP technology can support enhanced quality management and waste reduction within aerospace industries, through centralised information. Also sizing up the event will be Faro
(

Indestructible: Specialist aerospace coatings
cost-down experience is now helping aerospace manufacturers achieve major cost savings. The company is meeting the aerospace cost-down challenge with a comprehensive line-up of aerospace related machine tools that is said to deliver production savings of up to 30%. Moving on, Indestructible Paint
(
www.indestructible.co.uk) says its stand will highlight an in-depth involvement in the development and production of surface coatings for the aerospace industry worldwide. The company’s coatings include a
Faro: Measurement solutions “Visitors can try out how quickly and
easily measurements can be carried out using our products,” states Faro’s area vice-president of sales for the UK, France and Benelux, David Homewood. “Many of our customers used fixed CMMs before switching to our portable solutions. By using our systems, they can reduce their leadtimes while improving quality standards. This guarantees a very fast ROI.” Heller (

will be using its theme ‘Heller Taking Cost out of Quality’ during the show. With more than 100 years of delivering to manufacturing industries, Heller’s
range of often specialised and diverse types of materials for manufacturers and maintenance organisations. These include extreme heat and corrosion resistant inorganic coatings used on jet engine turbine blades – one of only two materials of this type available in the world. More conventional organic materials include special coatings formulated for magnesium, very high corrosion resistant epoxy products for a variety of substrates, polyurethane finishes and dry film lubricants, whilst the increasing use of composites in aerospace applications has lead to the development of new materials designed for these substrates. Jetcam (
www.jetcam.com) will be launching its CrossTrack order, material, ply and kit management software suite at the Composites Engineering Show. The company will be sharing a
