Proven cell design automates production for highest machine utilization, while "teamkey" process development optimizes titanium cutting productivity and part throughput
July 2008 - MAG Cincinnati (Hebron, KY) begins take-off roll for TECT Aerospace on a high-powered cell for automated machining of large titanium airframe components. The TECT order covers a three-machine five-axis machining cell and processing methodology. Ordered for TECT's Wellington, Kansas manufacturing plant, the CINCRONŽ Cell system integrates three MEGA 5 five-axis 800 mm horizontal machining centers (HMCs).
The first machine shipped the first quarter of 2008. The final two HMCs are shipping the current quarter with cell completion and acceptance scheduled for the fourth quarter, said MAG officials.
The order includes "teamkey" development of the machining process, fixturing, programming and tooling. MAG Maintenance Technologies, a sister organization to MAG Cincinnati, will provide the tooling and final run-off.
