AEROSPACE MACHINING
(QTN) 350-II MSY multi-tasking machine along with some Vertical Center Universal (VCU) 400 5X and 300 5X full fi ve-axis vertical machining centers. The QTN 350-II MSY features milling and Y-axis capabilities as well as a second turning spindle to process LCP’s parts in “Done in One” operations. Mazak’s fi ve-axis VCUs bring advanced technol- ogy and production value to LCP’s high-precision small parts processing. The machines are simple but innovative and feature rotary/tilt trunnion tables, 40-taper spindles and automatic toolchangers. And their sizes make for easy installation. LCP’s VCN Compact three-axis machining center allows the shop to quickly and accurately process small, complex parts from tougher materi- als, including stainless steel, Inconel, and titanium, in low, medium, and high volumes. LCP makes the majority of its parts from aluminum, stainless and nickel alloys, along with brass, copper and several common types
LCP’s VCU 400 5X and 300 5X full fi ve-axis vertical machining centers access, all of the part surfaces that need to be machined in a single setup with true perfect positioning tolerances.

of plastics. Parts measure from 0.030" (0.76 mm) in diameter up to 18" (457 mm) in diameter and 60" (1524-mm) long, with others as big as 24 × 48” (610 × 1219 mm) in size. Tolerances can range from ±0.001" (0.03 mm) to as tight as 0.0002" (0.005 mm), and machining times vary from as little as 10 seconds to as long as eight hours. With advanced technologies such as multitasking and full fi ve-axis machin- ing, LCP often completes parts in single setups. One such part is an enclosure for a military sonar device machined on the Mazak QTN 350-II MSY. The ma- chine was acquired specifi cally for that job. The shop runs (Done in One) about 10,000 of these parts per year. Had it quoted the job based on existing ca- pabilities, LCP would have had to price the job twice as high compared with the amount it did quote to win the job. The sonar part requires OD and ID

turning and some milling. But the real challenge is the ID surface fi nish, which, when LCP fi rst considered, would need to be farmed out for honing. The honing operation would have added extensive time to the job. But knowing the ca- pabilities of the QTN 350-II MSY, LCP
