Case Study: Aircraft Oil Tank System
For the past 20 years, we have machined, finished, inspected, and delivered aircraft oil tank systems for a global aerospace manufacturer. From the beginning, we collaborated with our OEM customer on part design to ensure their casting was designed for manufacturability.
When product and tooling design were finalized, our intimate knowledge of the part not only provided strategic value in machining, finishing, and delivering the part. It also allowed us to partner with the foundry to monitor for process changes that might impact casting quality such as targeting, core setting, or tool wear. This collaboration has yielded a very successful partnership in ensuring quality is maintained throughout the supply chain.
Intake Inspection
Prior to processing, we perform an intake inspection on every casting we receive using our 7-Axis Hexagon laser scanning arm.
Machining & Testing
We precision-machine our parts in our Hurco 5-axis machine. We follow up with pressure testing and penetrant testing on machined surfaces.
Finish & Assembly
We send inspected and machined parts out for anodization and install dozens of aerospace-grade inserts in accordance with OEM work instructions.
Quality Management
Our AS9100 QMS ensures all features are inspected and signed off prior to shipment to ensure every part our customers receive are conforming parts.
