EMCC DR. RAEK has been a leading in-dependent, international provider for EMC,EMI, radio, electrical safety and environ-mental simulation for over 35 years. At ourinnovation centres and on-site at customerfacilities anywhere in the world we provideconsulting and laboratory testing (ISO17025accredited) up to certification and approvalmanagement. Our teams consist of interna-

tionally recognised experts in electromagnet-ic environmental effects (E3).

As technology has advanced, so have thequalitatively and regulatory requirementsimposed on aircraft, avionics and aviationas a whole. The main issues range fromelectromagnetic interference to environmen-tal factors such as air pressure, tempera-ture and the direct and indirect effects oflightning, to vibration stresses on materials,

components, and entire systems. In addition,the market now demands the use of novelmaterials in aircraft hulls. These offer higherstability combined with lower weight, anddrive down costs in comparison to metals.The three main causes of EMC issues arethunderstorms, heavy EMI in air and spaceand mutual EMI between parts of a system.

Due to the increased use of carbon fibre,the fuselage no longer acts as a Faradaycage, protecting against direct and indirecteffects of lightning. Furthermore, system relia-bility under any conditions is of paramount.Flight safety cannot be guaranteed unless allairborne equipment from components toentire systems has passed stringent tests.

Our key developments and innovations in-clude for example:

Ability to generate (and simulate) directlightning strikes greater than 100 kiloamps

ESD tests for discharges exceeding 300kilovolts

HIRF tests with electric field strengths upto and exceeding 40,000 volts per metre

We offer comprehensive services in accord-

ance with manufacturers specifications andstandards like EUROCAE, IEC 61000-4-25,MIL-STD, SAE, RTCA/DO-160 and manymore. Of course on request, we also pro-vide testing according to customer-specificrequirements.

The companyworks in the field of precision machining inthe following areas: Aerostructures, Engines,

Defense, Aeronautical Equipment.

ABETE in last 5 years has experienced thefollowing main changes: Creation of new Management Areas

Huge Hardware Investments Automation Increased capabilities to machine hard

materials New Foreign Customers Increase of Revenue Increase of Human Resources

A.ABETE SRL has always given attention tomarket changes and customers demands inorder to increase its productivity reducing thedelivery time. For this reason, the companyhas implemented a dedicated area to Sur-face Treatments.

All products can be completed in house withthe following processes:

Penetrant InspectionIn the semi-automatic plant for the Fluores-cent Penetrant Inspection, both Water-Wash-able Penetrants and Post-Emulsifiable Pene-trants. In this way, its possible to make theFPI according to the methods indicated in theinternational standards.

Shot PeeningAmong our aims, there are not only the de-sign and the manufacturing of aircraft enginecomponents. We want to focus our attentionalso on innovation and development for ex-ample.

We want to look forward at our equipmentsearch and their updating, to be always theright answer to our market needs. The shot

peening can be a good example. This tech-nology is one of the most important surfaceprocesses in aerospace. This machine hasseven axis and it is able to shot peen anykind of surface, in term of position, complex-ity and grade. This means that the shot me-dia stream strikes the parts always between45 and 90 degree, i.e. that the requiredvalue for shot peening intensity is reached

everywhere.

Surface TreatmentsIn order to rationalize and to lean the pro-duction flow, there are two separate lines,one for the aluminum alloys surface treat-ment, one for the steel and the titanium alloyssurface treatment. In detail, its possible torealize Chromic Acid Anodizing, Boric Ac-id-Sulfuric Acid Anodizing, Tartaric SulfuricAnodizing, Chemical Conversion Coating,

Passivation of titanium, Passivation of steel.To be totally in compliance with the Custom-er specifications, the automatic plants, whichmanage the work cycles with PLC, checkcontinually parameters such as temperature,PH, electrical conductivity, tanks level.

PaintingThe automatic painting plant is divided in

three separate areas: a temperature con-trolled and humidity controlled chamber,a flash-off zone, a temperature controlledoven. The temporized conveyor, whichmoves the parts through the three areas, per-mits to program the work cycles accordingto the Customer specifications, in order toalways respect the flash-off time and the po-lymerization time.

Znd Cutting Systems: Perfection In Every Detail

Whether carbon, glass, Kevlar, or naturalfiber, whether for prototyping or high-vol-ume production whatever your cutting re-quirements may be Znd has what youneed to get it done: the Swiss cutting systemmanufacturer, with its innovative solutions forcomposites applications, is your first choicein digital cutting.

The requirements for cutting compositematerials are extraordinarily diverse.What does Znd do to meet its custom-ers' needs in such a complex productionenvironment?

Peter Hohl: Composites are challenging ma-terials to process because of the complexi-ty of their characteristics. This is especiallytrue when it comes to clean, precise cutting.The demands on the cutting system for thisapplication are high: flawless cut quality,

maximum machine uptime, multi-functional-ity, high material yield with a minimum ofwaste, limited operating costs, and the high-est-possible throughput. Znd has more than20 years of experience with this type of cut-ting. Because of our direct, on-going con-tact with end-users, we can stay abreast ofour customers' needs and of current markettrends. This allows us to keep increasing ourknow-how in processing these challengingmaterials and supplying our customers with

state-of-the-art digital cutting solutions.

What distinguishes Znd cutters from oth-ers in such demanding production envi-ronments?

Their unique functional versatility, unmatchedreliability and build quality, as well as theirease of use and compelling cost-benefit ra-tio. No other digital cutting solution on themarket handles such a wide range of materi-

als with the same ease: prepreg, dry weave,core materials, engineered laminates, etc.Znd cutters make it possible for the userto process, on one and the same machine,carbon, glass, and aramid fiber, as well ashard foam and honeycomb, cured CFRP orGRP sheets (carbon-fiber or glass-fiber rein-forced polymer).

Composite materials, such as carbon andaramid, tend to be quite expensive. This is

why users in these applications are par-

ticularly interested in maximizing material

usage. What is Znd doing to support cus-tomers in this effort?

In conjunction with Znd Cut Center, we of fera powerful nesting software. This softwareoption permits utilizing costly raw materialsas efficiently as possible. At the core of theZnd Cut Center software is a comprehen-sive, integrated materials' database, which

specifies the best processing methods formany different composite materials as wellas the corresponding optimal cut parame-ters. All processing methods are extensivelyanalyzed and tested at Znd's R&D facilities.In the Cut Queue, we have a seeminglyminor but important feature that estimatesthe processing time for every phase of pro-ducing a job. Once a job is completed, thisfeature saves the actual processing time to-gether with the cut data. This information canbe exported at any time for invoicing or for

production planning of repeat orders.

Thermoplastic components have alreadybecome important components in today'saerospace industry, and will also positivelyinfluence the efficiency of entire systems ofother industries in the future. For more than25 years, XPERION PERFORMANCE POLY-MER COMPOSITES has been a specialist forthe production of thermoplastic lightweight

components, and because of its superiormaterial and technology expertise, con-

tinues to rank among the globally leadingcompanies of the industry. The companyutilizes the Continuous Compression Mold-ing (CCM) manufacturing process to createhighly rigid and at the same time ultralightproducts.

The CCM process enables the productionof laminates and non-rotationally symmetrical

parts such as V, A, U, H and hat profiles aswell as curved components, for example, seatbackrests. The modular tooling system allowsfor an exchange of the forming tool withina very short time, which in turn minimizesdowntimes. The current CCM systems fromXPERION are able to provide an output of upto 100 m/h with a consistently high quality,depending on the geometry of the manufac-tured component and type of polymer used.The cycle times are thereby in the range ofminutes or seconds. The product manufactur-

ing is performed continuously, and thereforepossible with an unlimited length. In the near

future, a production width of up to 1000 mmwill also be possible.

Through their low weight, a high impactstrength and an extreme flexibility, XPERIONproducts are able to provide decisive advan-tages. Key characteristics of the utilized high-end polymers with carbon fibers are theircorrosion and chemical resistance, as well as

a low water absorption. Depending on therespective function and application, it is pos-sible to use fibers made of carbon, glass, ar-amid or basalt in combination with polymers.The modular machine concept combined witha broad range of machining options such asmilling, drilling, sawing, water-jet processingor welding, provide perfect conditions for theutilization of thermoplastic components. Thisenables XPERION to address specific custom-er requirements, and thus function as a built-to-print supplier.

Residual magnetism in ferromagnetic work-pieces causes a long list of serious problems:

magnetic sticking of ferromagnetic parti-cles

breakdowns of bearings disturbances in highly sensitive navigation

instruments magnetic moment issues in space appli-

cations misclassification of eddy current testing arc deflection in arc welding or beam de-

flection in electron beam welding disturbances in various coating processes

due to magnetic effects

There are many other examples where mag-netism generates problems in manufacturingprocesses.

Maurer Magnetic AG offers our unique and

patented "MAURER Degaussing" pulse tech-

nology. Even for the highest requirements,such as in the space industry, our degauss-ing process is able to reach the demandedresults. Maurer Magnetic AG has successful-ly solved several such ambitious projects andoffers the right choice of machines out of ourbroad product portfolio for each case. Ourdemagnetizers can either be fully integratedin automated production lines or they can

also be operated manually simply by push-ing a button.

We highly recommend to our customersto also invest in good measuring equip-ment. Only with a suitable residual mag-netism-measuring device is it possible to reli-ably verify the results of the demagnetizationand to identify magnetic parts. Residual mag-netism if often located in very small spots.A measuring device can only identify thesespots, if the sensor of the probe is located

close to the surface. Our Gaussmeter M-Test

LL has a Hall sensor mounted on the tip ofa tangential probe. The measuring distanceto the part is 0.5mm (probe in contact withthe surface). For precise and reproducible re-sults, the measurements needs to be taken ina magnetically shielded area. Otherwise notonly residual magnetism, but also inducedmagnetic fields will be measured (e.g. mag-netic field of earth). Therefore Maurer Mag-

netic AG offers the Zero-Gauss-Chamber,when precise and reproducible measuringresults are needed.

Aerospace is currently amongst those in-dustries with the highest demand for toolsthat reduce processing costs of fibre-rein-forced composites.

Hufschmied machining systems are readyfor the challenge. Within the last 12months, we have optimised a whole rangeof existing tools tailored to these specific

requirements along with the developmentof completely new devices.

Aerospace industries are faced with highprocessing costs for the manufacturing ofcomponents made from fibre-reinforcedcomposites, in extreme cases amounting toup to 50% of total component costs. This ispartly due to the use of specific materialslike organic sheets, matrix systems based onduroplastics and thermoplastics with a vari-able fibre content of 50-70%, various foams

and metal-reinforced honeycomb structures.Costs are also incurred owing to stringentrequirements regarding both quality andsafety.

An exampleFollowing several months of test runs,Hufschmied has developed T-Rex a newgeneration of tools for the machining ofCFRP structural components. Their distinc-tive feature: These innovative tools with their

variable cutting geometry combine the ad-vantages of a router geometry with the de-lamination-free cutting quality of a compres-sion tool. This brings about a high abrasionresistance paired with a long service life.Furthermore, the combination of roughingand smoothing within a single process stepleads to an extreme gain in speed whenchamfering to a quality standard that doesnot require any reworking. Cutting back ona second pass decreases processing costsby 30 per cent and increases productioncapacity by 40 per cent.

Similar scenarioThe development of the Fibre Drill Bits fol-lows the same directive optimising the

overall process. Drilling and countersinking isaccomplished in one single production step.Likewise, the new F172-geometry is a takeon the wave cut of knives. Implemented tothe machining movement of a drill tool, thesharpened drill tip of the Hufschmied "ForceCut" eliminates the constant axial machin-ing stress on the component and thus has amarked effect on the prevention of delamina-

tion at the entry and exit points of the borepath. Several benchmark tests showed thisnew geometry to result in a considerable in-crease in quality.

Of particular importanceDMG MORI and SAUER recently have in-troduced ULTRASONIC mobileBLOCK, amobile milling unit. It was developed for theautomated, economic processing in main-tenance and repair (MRO) of damagedfibre-reinforced composite components. Par-

ticipating in this project: Hufschmied machin-ing systems to this effect we have launcheda whole new family of tools. Each one isoptimised for a specific material and availa-ble in two versions for stepped or taperedscarfing.

Unique on a global scaleHufschmied also brings a ground-breakinginnovative idea to the table. Engineers fromBobingen have developed VisCheck and

brought it up to deployment standard. This isa new software for the quality assessment ofCFRP drilling. It provides every industry withthe means to perform an automated evalua-tion of drilling quality with regard to delami-nation, fraying and chipping.

Enquiries welcomeFeel free to contact us. Our updated port-folio will be of interest to all users pursuingcost-effective processing of new materials.

RMSs mission is to provide customers withthe tools, means and knowledge to extractthe best possible information from their meas-urements, during environment tests and prod-uct validation.

Our clients are well-known companies, suchas: AIRBUS, CNES, DASSAULT, MBDA,MICHELIN, RENAULT, PSA, SAFRAN/

SNECMA, THALES ALENIA SPACE

Sensors start to be used on a large scale,not only in the development of equipment,but also during their operation in order tounderstand exactly how customers use them.The knowledge gained from these analysesis highly sensitive; a comprehensive under-standing of customer usage allows industrial-ists to improve their products and stand outfrom the competition.

The major problem dealing with sensors isto ensure their reliability. Reliability is ques-tioned when the number of sensors increas-es. Faulty measurements can provide awrong representation of client use conditionsand lead to wrong design choices.

The main contribution of RMS is to automati-cally detect measurement errors.

The technological breakthrough in this pro-ject is to meet requirements in terms of reli-ability, and availability of sensors networksby an automated approach. This is to beopposed, on one hand with the traditionalvisual approach, and on the other handwith the use of sensor redundancy. RMS canpropose features and performance levels innetworks of sensors currently unavailable onthe market.

QualiSigallows users to:

Single-channel: detect and quantify usualerrors (under-sampling, under-quantisation,overshot, clipping, offset, drift, electricalpollution, microcut);

Multi-channel: detect unusual measure-ment errors. QualiSig works by: learning the behaviour of each sensor

from neighboring sensors, on a datasetrepresentative of expected physical phe-nomenon;

detecting abnormal measurements evo-lution with regard to a confidence inter-val expected from the physical context.

Global competition and varying customerdemand create a need for responsive andagile supply chains. In consequence, firmsneed to collaborate and share information.Hence, supply chains are critical determi-nants for efficiency and effectiveness in theface of rapidly changing and competitivebusiness environments. However, productlifecycles are shortened, competition on a

price level increases, and inventories are re-duced while the delivery performance shallbe improved.

Firms answer that challenge by implementinginitiatives such as global sourcing or trackingand tracing in order to ensure competitive-ness. Hence, firms have to comprehend the

information and make it useable to establishtransparency. One option is the visualiza-tion of material flows using a map basedapproach.

Our solution creates transparency and as-sess risks about (production) sites on an ex-act geographical location (versus mailboxaddress). Further, our solution allows to as-

sess the risk for various risks clusters such asgeographical risks, political risks, financialrisks (of suppliers) or capacity risks. Moreo-ver, relations between sites can be analyzedand assessed for the defined risk clusters.In addition, a map allows to visualize thesupply chain. For example, lines represent-ing the transportation route vary based on

the transport volume and/or frequency. Dy-namic aspects such as inclusion of real-timeinformation, simulation, modelling, or fur-ther collaboration tools enrich our solutionand allows firms to improve supply chainexcellence. Hence, firms and supply chainpartners can react in real-time on occurringevents using a scenario approach. Variousscenarios allow firms to solve the conflict be-

tween best price and customer satisfactionby ensuring the supply of goods. In addi-tion, a relation to the balance sheet can beimplemented or further requirements can berealized.

In consequence, firms gain insights on pro-duction sites, increase transparency for thesupply chain, and visualize the supply ofgoods. Especially, the visualization enablesfirms to get back the control of their supplychains by transferring big data into useable

information. In specific, risks can be quan-tified, risk alerts can be automated, or theimpact of risks can be mapped to the sup-ply chain from a qualitative perspective (dis-ruptions of supply) and from a quantitativeperspective (effect on the balance sheet).

Furthermore, simulations improve the supplychain performance by calculating the besttotal cost of ownership (TCO) scenario, re-al-time data can be used to enrich decisions,and routing of goods can be visualized inreal-time.

For approximately three decades the machin-ing of aviation engine components, which aremade out of difficult-to-machine superalloys,was mainly carried out by Whisker Ceramics,since there was no alternate cutting materialavailable.

The entry of CeramTec GmbH in the aero-space industry has been made possible by

the development of cutting materials and toolswhich perfectly match the high demands of

the aerospace industry. SPKCSA 115 andCSA 720 grade cutting materials were de-veloped especially for high-performance ma-chining of aviation engine components. Theyopen up completely new dimensions for theaerospace industry in terms of cutting speedsand depths while simultaneously ensuring ulti-mate process reliability and economy in ma-chining aviation engine components. A per-

fect combination for the CSA cutting gradesoffers the MonsoonTool Technology. The

MonsoonTool is an innovative tool systemfeaturing integrated high-pressure cooling lu-brication that enables it to eliminate the prob-lematic formation of long chips. Starting at apressure of 40 bar, the MonsoonToolsystemcuts endless chips into short chip fragmentswith optimum process reliability.

ARTS has been a strategic partner for the aer-ospace industry for more than 15 years andsupports companies within the sector to opti-mize their business processes for productionand staff. As an AS-9100 certified company,ARTS knows the current and future quality re-quirements of the market and offers innova-tive sector solutions especially in the areas ofEngineering & Manufacturing, Consulting, HR

Management and Training. At AIRTEC 2015ARTS will present Aerospace MatchPro, itsself-developed HR management software forthe aerospace industry. The matching tool al-lows ARTS to become even better equippedto meet the sector specific HR requirementsand thus steels itself for the "war for talents".

Since 2015 ARTS uses Aerospace MatchProin order to close the gap between its custom-

ers and specialists in the aerospace industry.It is becoming more and more difficult to findemployees in the aerospace industry due tothe transition of the employer market into anemployee market. Therefore it is necessarythat companies not only have a good onlinereach but that it is also done within a can-didate pool which is sector specific. This isexactly where the ARTS tool helps: The HR

management software which is based onOpen Source technology allows the auto-matic upload of job postings for aerospacesector jobs via RSS feed into the ARTS data-base. These job postings are then comparedto the internal applicant pool of over 2,000contacts (applicants, available ARTS employ-ees and freelancers). Aerospace MatchProknows over 20,000 job titles and roles usedby the German Job Centre (Bundesagentur fr

Arbeit). Additionally the tool is also familiarwith sector specific parameters such as cer-tifications, obligatory medical checks andsector specific trainings. On the basis of thisknowledge and with the stored hard andsoft skills of the candidates, the software canstart an automatic matching process betweenjob specifications and candidate basic dataand suggests automatically suitable persons

to ARTS recruiters. In addition, AerospaceMatchPro also publishes job offers on theARTS website as well as on sector relevantjob sites (airliners.de, indeed, aircareer.de,aero.de, etc.). Furthermore, all new online ap-plications are added to the ARTS Talent Pooland are integrated into the matching process.
