|
| |
Shearing
|
|
A shearing machine cuts sheet metal by applying shear stress. This process is used to cut large sheets of metal into smaller parts.
|
| |
Laser Cutting
|
|
Laser cutting machines use laser light to cut or etch holes or profiles. Laser cutting machines are very precise programmable pieces of equipment.
|
| |
Bending / Forming
|
|
Bending and forming processes are used to shape the sheet metal to its final shape.
|
| |
Deburring / Graining
|
|
Deburring and graining processes are used to remove sharp edges, and to polish and buff the part for cosmetic purposes.
|
| |
EDM Machining
|
|
Wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment is used to cut conductive materials using a thin electrode. The electrode is a thin wire (typically .004"-.012") that follows a programmed path. The wire does not physically contact the part. It is charged to a certain level and surrounded by de-ionized water. A spark is generated that jumps the gap and melts a small amount of material on the part.
|
| |
Punching
|
|
The process of punching holes in the sheet metal.
|
| |
Rolling
|
|
In the rolling process, a series of roll stands is used to progressively shape or bend a strip of flat-rolled metal to a desired cross section.
|
| |
Stamping
|
|
Stamping is the process of impressing surface definition and three-dimensional designs onto materials with pressurized tools and dies.
|
| |
Water / Abrasive Jet Cutting
|
|
Water jets and water abrasive jets rely on highly pressurized water (20,000 - 60,000 psi) flowing through a nozzle or "jewel" approximately 0.010" in diameter. Advantages include almost no material heating during cutting, low side loads, and ability to achieve complex shapes and tight inside radii. Low fixturing costs and fast setup and programming times make this process very suitable for prototypes or short runs. It is most widely used for two-dimensional cutting; three-dimensional machining is possible in specialty applications.

AS 9000
|
|
AS 9000 defines quality management system (QMS) requirements for suppliers to the aerospace industry. It was developed by major aerospace manufacturers and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). AS 9000 is based on ISO 9001, but includes over 80 additional requirements for the aerospace industry.
|
| |
AS 9100
|
|
AS 9100 is an expanded, international version of AS 9000, a standard which defines quality system requirements for suppliers to the aerospace industry. AS 9100 was developed by major aerospace manufactures in conjunction with the ISO Aerospace Technical Committee (TC) 20, and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
|
| |
QS-9000
