analysis tool that allows us to complete our weight and strength studies in far less time, while fi nding optimal ply coverages.” HyperSizer has been used on a wide variety of NASA spacecraft projects including the current Space Launch Sys- tem (SLS) rocket, previous Ares I and V launch vehicles, the Composite Crew Module, and the metal Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Commercial aviation customers include Boeing, Bombardier, Goodrich, Gulfstream, and Lockheed Martin. New features and enhancements in HyperSizer v6.2 include: Discrete Stiffener Modeling—For airframe wing box and
fuselage structures, the software automatically identifi es in the FEM, skin shell and stiffener beam elements and optimizes their spacings, heights, and laminates. Laminate Optimization for Manufacturability—An improved,
six-step process optimizes laminates (transition zones, ply- count compatibility, ply drops/adds, global ply tracking) while balancing strength, stability, and manufacturability. This leads to fabrication effi ciencies and factory-fl oor cost-savings. ME
Using the discrete stiffener modeling (DSM) capability HyperSizer v6.2, engineers designing airframe wing boxes can identify each stiffener as a separate panel segment, apply failure analyses, and determine unique margins of safety for each.

The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths between cuts, but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” process for making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool Presetter can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometries using measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time adjusting and more time cutting.
The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration at high speeds for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling noise and coolant splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The super slim taper design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduces interference in long reach applications.
