Delcam is to hold a series of seminars on five-axis machining techniques for the aerospace industry in China during June. The seminars will be held in Xi’an on 6th June, in Changhe on 9th June and in Biejing on 14th June as part of the CIMES exhibition.
Like all other areas of manufacturing, Chinese aerospace companies and their subcontractors are under pressure to increase profitability and reduce costs. Delcam believes that its software can give significant improvements in two main areas – the machining and inspection of components. As the developer of both PowerMILL, the world’s leading specialist CAM system, and PowerINSPECT, the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software, the company is uniquely placed to help aerospace organisations improve efficiency in these areas.
Furthermore, Delcam offers a number of unique solutions based on this combination of software expertise, including on-machine verification and adaptive machining. Both of these technologies are extremely valuable to aerospace companies, especially to those manufacturing aerostructures and other large components.
"The aerospace industry offers some significant opportunities for us to grow our business,” predicted Joe Zhou, Delcam’s Busines Development Manager for China. "Recent developments in Delcam’s software, especially the latest five-axis machining strategies in the PowerMILL CAM system, make it much more suitable for a range of aerospace applications, such as the production of aerostructures and the machining of blades and blisks. Delcam also has some specific technology for composites manufacture and these materials are being used increasingly in the industry.”
"Delcam has become increasingly successful in the sector in the UK, with customers including major sub-contractors like Goodrich Engine Control Systems, Mettis Aerospace and the Hyde Group,” added Mr. Zhou. "We are confident that, with the strength of the software and our good reputation for supporting our customers, we can repeat this success in China.”
