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.

aviation fuel refueling cart : Mobile refueling cart that can easily refuel light aircraft and helicopters Sump recovery system : Collect the drained/sumped aviation fuel from the aviation fuel refueling system, easily sample and test it, and then decide whether to drain it or return it to the system. Aviation fuel refueling system : The aviation fuel refueling system is compactly constructed with a skid for easy use and installation.

The extended range of products offered through AMA is also reflected in the range of services provided. Each company has its own processing capabilities which vary from business to business. In essence, the collective capability of AMA embodies the latest technology to meet the needs of any specific metal processing requirement, including but not limited to: Cutting shape cutting milling surfacing sawing drilling guillotining waterjet cutting USI testing heat-treating or re-tempering forgings machining to near net shape
