Machining scribe acquires new machinery to respond to the aeronautical sector

Drafting MU15/02/2006

Machining scribe has spent eight years in the world of precision mechanics and machining in general. It is in 1998 when began his specialisation in the manufacture of components of high responsibility for the sector Aeronautics, aerospace and defense. In this story we know the company more closely and see how it is evolving with the support of the supplier of machine tools Maquinser.

Of machining facilities are in the madrilenian municipality of Mejorada del Campo. It has 500 square meters of nave and 90 square metres of offices on a surface of 1,000 square meters.

The company is made up of 20 professionals, fourteen of which are in production, the Department with more people. The rest of the employees are divided by the departments of quality (2), the technical Office (2) and (2) administration.

Some examples of parts for which manufactured are components for the Airbus A-380 aircraft and the Eurofighter 2000 aircraft.

Primarily machines in its facilities aluminium, titanium, special steels, alloys termorresistentes or composite materials.

In order to work properly in a highly demanding sector, machining scribe has chosen for the quality and innovation, combining the quality certifications required in this sector with the participation in projects of r & d at European level and the acquisition of the latest technological advances in equipment.

Because of the requirements requested by customers and the needs that have emerged for their participation in European projects, the company has recently acquired new machinery. These teams will make it possible to tackle projects of components of high technical complexity.

Its machinery park includes two Lathes (a CMZ-CNC lathe and one YS 510 Biglia second head and shaft "and"), thirteen centres of machining and wire EDM Center. The list of machines is as follows:

• 1 ZERO KITAMURA machining center

• 2 Vertical Machining centers KITAMURA 2 X

• 3 Vertical Machining centers KITAMURA 3 X

• 1 KITAMURA HX400 Horizontal machining center

• 1 Centre for machining 5 axis DMG 80P

• 1 Centre of Electro erosion wire SODICK AQ 327 L (1st machine in Europe)

• 1 MORI SEIKI NH4000 Horizontal machining center

• 1 Centre for machining MATSUURA HP300

• 1 Centre for machining MATSUURA HPLUS405 with 6 pallets

• 1 Machining center 5 axes MATSUURA MAM72-63V (1st machine in Europe)

• 1 Centre 72-3VS MAM machining (machine 5 axis with 40 pallets (1st machine in Spain))

In addition, the Department of design and programming is composed of two people working on designs sent by clients. The development of its mission, are three stations software Catia V5 and station GIBBSCAM 3D software.

The r & d Department has two people. Given the sectors for which scribe machining, it is clear that the quality is a daily occurrence in the work of the company. While some of the accreditations had been as a requirement of the clients, from the direction has been considered a good quality system is essential in supplying a product that can meet the highest requirements.

In this regard, the independent verification at a controlled temperature is equipped with a three-dimensional machine Dea Global Status A 7.10.5 (capacity 1000 x 500 x 500 mm) and a machine for measuring by vision CNC Quick Scope QS200Z Ref. 359 - 504-3

In this line, and within its business strategy, machining scribe obtained in the year 2000 the certificate according to EN ISO 9002: 1994 quality systems.

Current accreditations are ISO 9001: 2000 and EN 9100: 2003, and in addition the company owns the following customers: EADS CASA, EADS Airbus and ITP.

In 2001, machining scribe started its r & d activities. In the aerospace sector, demanding from the technological point of view, participation in research and development activities provides competitive advantages as a knowledge of first-hand and participation in further development of the aeronautical sector and the implementation in contact with other companies and technology centres of the European environment

Machining scribe found that r & d initiatives that can promote an increase in competitiveness be focused from a European Prism. Thus, the company was involved in two European projects of the European Union 5th Framework Programme:

GROWTH programme. TITALUM - Improvement of tools for the machining of aeronautic aluminium and titanium alloys. (2002, 2003).

TITALUM (program GROWTH): Improvement of the cost of machining of alloys of titanium and aluminum for aeronautical applications. The processes of Court are being studied are the of milling, drilling, turning and escariado.

Machining scribe was involved in the study of fine and coarse milling.

CRAFT program. IMINCAST - Innovative monitored precision casting for advanced high quality cost efficient products. (2003, 2005).

IMINCAST (program CRAFT): Optimization of processes and production costs of components in MMC (metal matrix composite) using the technique of microfusión.

Machining scribe assessed processes machining (completed) in so abrasive materials such as compounds of to Al-SiC.

Today machining scribe participates in the GROWTH programme. MACHERENA - New tools and processes for improving machining of heat resistant alloys used in aerospace applications. (2003, 2006). His role is that of coordinator of the project, whose objective is the improvement of the cost of machining of alloys of termorresistentes for aeronautical applications. The processes of Court are being studied are the of milling, drilling, turning and escariado. The Madrid company is involved in the study of the milling and turning.

More Maquinser machines

As they explain from machining scribe, "the relationship with Maquinser begins in the year 2003 with the acquisition of machining center for 5-axis, which was the first machine sold in its model Matsuura MAM72-63V Spain and that today today is a landmark in aerospace machining."

"Matsuura teams have become instrumental in the production of machining strategy and now occupy a ship dedicated exclusively to work with these machines."

The acquisition of new centres of machining to the Maquinser company was carried out to achieve the following technical goals:

• Possibility to produce pieces of materials of difficult machining (special steels, termorresistentes alloys, composite materials, Ti alloys) at competitive costs.

• Completion of the tasks in the projects of r & d in which it participates machining scribe

• Improve the costs of production of parts and conventional materials in series.

• Automation of machining implanting machines multipallet with the corresponding equipment to achieve autonomy for manufacturing.

• The acquisition to Maquinser of the machining center for 5-axis with 40 pallets Matsuura MAM 72 - 3VS, will provide machining clerk a greater capacity for response to its customers both level of technology of machining and delivery times
