Exhibitors include:
Clarendon Specialty Fasteners (Stand F4) will be exhibiting SEMS – pre-assembled screws and washers that are predominately used in the aircraft interior industry. They reduce inventory count and installed cost through increased production rates and the elimination of down time trying to find lost components. Clarendon Specialty Fasteners can manufacture and supply SEMS in varying volumes, sizes, finishes and head styles to suit a wide range of applications.
Tri-Tech 3D (Stand K114) is offering 3D Print Training. The company says it is a team of 3D printers, thinkers and teachers and approaches its courses with ‘curiosity and experimentation’.
DVR Ltd (Stand J110) is a leading subcontract electronics manufacturing Company (CEM) servicing all sectors of the electronics market. With advanced technology systems and a committed team that allow it to provide a full ‘end-to-end’ solution.
Mini Gears Group (Stand N114) has now attained AS9100D Certification, the international quality management standard specifically written by the aerospace industry to improve quality and assure the integrity of supplies to the industry.
AS9100D is recognised and accepted throughout the aerospace supply chain as an industry benchmark and the company says that having these process controls in place ensures that it delivers products that consistently meet customers’ requirements.
Trumpf (Stand E22) will be highlighting its solutions for e-mobility applications. Battery manufacturing alone already accounts for 10% of the company’s turnover in the automotive sector; more than 500 Trumpf lasers have already been installed worldwide for this purpose. Indeed, its lasers are proving ideal for the mass production of batteries, high-power electronic systems and electric drives. Visitors to Advanced Engineering will learn about developments that range from laser techniques that can weld all the seams on an electric motor in just one minute to its TruConnect solutions. These allow the entire production process to be digitised: from initial customer queries to invoicing and from raw material ordering to finished product dispatch.
Perfect Bore Manufacturing (Stand G23) specialises in the gundrilling, deep-hole boring, honing, complete preparatory turning operations, CNC cylindrical grinding and superfinishing of billets up to 900mm diameter and 3 metres in length. The company continues to increase its machining capabilities to facilitate the specialised drilling techniques required when working with high-temperature corrosion resistant alloys such as Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and stainless steels.
Perfect Bore operates a fully accredited management system that is compliant to AS9100 Rev 2016 and ISO9001:2015. It is a bronze awarded signatory to SC21 and is also a signatory to Fit for Nuclear (F4N) and the NDA's Supply Chain Charter for Nuclear Decommissioning Sites.
Alicona (Stand C11) has added another automated measurement solution to its range of robot-based high-resolution surface measurement system. It is based on the well-established InfiniteFocus SL system along with a small collaborative robot. This configuration allows components to be automatically selected and placed on the measuring system for topographic profile measurement and surface finish measurement. The results can be compared against CAD data and the user can be presented with a go-no go result via a traffic light display system. The system is ideally suited for the in-process measurement of small batches of precision engineered components for geometric and surface finish measurement.
Leader Chuck International (Stand L160) will provide dynamic demonstrations of Balance Systems’ range of industry-leading solutions at Advanced Engineering 2019. These include grinding wheel balancing, in-line dynamic gauging, touch detection and spindle monitoring with the B-Safe machine tool monitoring system.
Airbond (Stand J2) specialises in the science of fibre splicing and its applications and is celebrating securing its second Queen’s Award for Innovation. The company will be introducing new splicing products including:
Model 302: a fixed-position splicer for waste yarn recovery to reduce factory costs. The system boasts yarn counts up to 9000 tex and works by enabling the manufacturer to rewind partly used bobbins of yarn, ‘shorts’, to join one to another, until a full-weight bobbin is produced. That full-weight bobbin can then be used to produce another product – ideal where cost and waste savings are paramount in lower quality applications.
Model 307: a twin-chamber splicer for upmost strength splices for yarn counts up to 4800 tex, a new and improved lightweight design ideal for use in an everyday factory environment, replacing an older model well established in the composites industry.
