Renishaw 3D打印可提高速度和削减成本Kwikbolt工具

UK-based additive manufacturing specialist雷尼沙有帮助Frazer-Nash制造,,,,a precision engineering service provider, to produce a novel aircraft tooling device for its customerKwikbolt

用一个雷尼沙AM 400additive manufacturing system, Frazer-Nash was able to produce a fastening tool for aircraft panels with reduced time and cost compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing methods like CNC machining. Explaining why additive manufacturing proved to be an effective production method for the tool, Stuart Offer, AM Sales Manager at Renishaw, comments: “By using AM, Frazer-Nash is able to produce components cost-effectively in small batch sizes.”

“在加工相比,没有重新定制工具quired, which results in improvements in speed and a reduction in manufacturing costs, particularly for such a difficult to machine part.”

与Renishaw的长期关系

弗雷泽 - 纳什(Frazer-Nash)也位于英国,为各个行业提供设计,制造和精确工程服务,并特别关注航空航天。Frazer-Nash最初于2014年从Renishaw采购了增材雷电竞充值制造系统,获得了AM 250内部使用的系统。

The company has developed a close relationship with Renishaw since then, and opted to purchase the AM 400 to help produce metal parts for its customers. “Over the last five years, we have developed a close partnership with Renishaw,” commented Paul Mortlock, Managing Director at Frazer-Nash.

“由于其支持服务,我们最初选择与Renishaw合作,我们发现它们是无价的。”

Developing customized bespoke tools for the aerospace industry

弗雷泽 - 纳什(Frazer-Nash)与客户Kwikbolt的项目被认为是其在增材制造业中最成功的项目之一。雷电竞充值Kwikbolt专门使用现代技术和材料生产航空安装固定器,以彻底改变飞机的组装。据报道,它是世界上唯一生产特定临时固定设备的公司之一,用于在车辆组装过程中对飞机面板和机身对齐。

使用其Renishaw AM 400系统,Frazer-Nash能够为生产Kwikbolt的复杂紧固件工具提供有效的解决方案,同时简化了组件的整体制造过程。与使用增材制造的CNC加工相比,定制工具的定制几何形状可以以相对较低的成本生产,并且所需的时间也更少。雷电竞充值“ Kwikbolt项目是一个真正的AM成功故事,” Mortlock补充说。“使用AM意味着我们可以根据航空航天客户的要求轻松生产定制组件。

“Renishaw’s AM systems have been flawless since we started working together. Frazer-Nash now produces 25,000 AM parts a year and has expanded its range of components.”

航空航天中的Renishaw 3D打印

Renishaw的金属添加剂制造技雷电竞充值术已在航空航天部门内的组织以前使用,以生产高性能零件。2017年,该公司透露了高级航空技术中心(CATEC)在塞维尔使用其Renam 500 3D打印机to help develop high-speed turbine blades for the aerospace industry. The development of the parts was part of theFuturalve项目,,,,funded by the Spanish Government’s工业技术发展中心(CDTI), which aimed to develop new technologies for high-speed aerospace turbines.

今年3月初,2019年3月,雷尼沙(Renishaw)举办了一个全天候的开放日additive manufacturing in aerospace。邀请150位客人在格洛斯特郡公司的创新中心观察尖端的高级制造技术,并提供来自空中客车,,,,GKN,,,,劳斯莱斯,,,,城堡精密工程,,,,andSandvik Coromant
