Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC mill-turn centre meets aviation needs from
Yamazaki Mazak UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Aerospace subcontractor, Portsmouth Aviation was asked to produce components for next-generation defence programmes and an automated CNC multi-tasking mill-turn centre was acquired to do
this".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Punch press helps build submarines from
LVD (UK): "A punch press from LVD (UK) is helping BAe Systems in building a new class of nuclear powered submarines".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Fastems Divisions, Helvar
concerning its FMS - carbon fibre skin milling
- take a look at FMS machines carbon fibre aircraft skins
which says: "Flexible manufacturing system, with 5-axis machining centre, machines 120 different skins that form the aft fuselage and empennage of three variants of the F-35 Lightning II aircraft".
Take a look also at the news release from Wallwork Heat Treatment, ISO 14001 for thermal processing and foundries,
as well as Laser gauge cuts fuselage measurement time from Quality Gauging Systems,
and Estimating methods within defence and aerospace from Galorath International.
