The focus on buy-to-fly ratios highlights the contributing role that near net shape processing can offer. This has undoubtedly been a driver in increasing this service offering from AMA. As a major contributor in the aircraft manufacturing supply chain, this is a key area of development for AMA and its companies. Customers are increasingly looking to optimise their production processes. This is primarily driven by the need to maximise their own spindle time for core business activities, with AMA therefore undertaking some of the machining processes. It can take many forms, from simple cutting to more intricate processing in which near net shape pieces are supplied. Even in AMA businesses whose business is predominantly transactional (so called ‘spot business’) rather than contractual, the processing element is increasing. Pre-machined kits of parts to individual specifications are becoming more commonplace. In addition to freeing up time for customers and OEMs to focus on more profitable final processing, near net shape processes can improve product quality, reduce variability and enhance component design functionality. As the industry continues to search for ways to lower buy-to-fly ratios and reduce the amount of waste, near net shape processing will have a greater role to play.

The operation of robotic inspection systems in an industrial environment requires a reliable control station. The second generation integrated control station -ICS 2- gives operators an all-in-one tool. Supplied in a rugged hardshell case (Pelicase®), embedded components such as a 21.5-inch touchscreen, high-performance PC or joystick can be selected according to industry standards. It also boasts a 10-year spare parts guarantee as well as extreme robustness and reliability even in harsh environments. Simplicity and ease of operation were key when developing ICS 2. The operator connects the robotic platform with one single cable and using the integrated joystick, operation is simple and self-explanatory.

The reference timing is used as the standard time for many tasks linked in various fields of industry and society. Especially precisely synchronized timing information and signals are widely used to keep mobile networks synchronization and generate precise time and frequency. In addition, it is being utilized in various ways such as power protection system for power generation and load management of each power plant according to smart grid issue, military satellite communication, electronic warfare signal detection and command control communication system.
