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 AI Inspection Rover is capable of autonomous driving indoors and outdoors, obstacle avoidance, high-resolution image acquisition, aircraft underbody inspection, and platooning. Its low-height design allows it to pass under the aircraft, and with its zero-turn function, it can execute missions more efficiently. Additionally, it can drive slopes of up to 10° and overcome bumps of up to 30mm.

The mighty Hitec SG33BLT Series servo actuators operate on DroneCAN (formerly UAVCAN), CAN 2.0 A/B, RS485, PWM and TTL command protocols, and feature brushless motors, magnetic encoders, and hardened steel gears. They are also environmentally sealed with an IP67 waterproof case rating. The SG33BLT Series was initially developed for the automotive industry requiring minimal support equipment and wiring, saving unnecessary installation complexity, cost and weight. This same functionality is now enjoying widespread adoption of CAN and DroneCAN systems within the UAV environment. With options for both 9~15-volt and 18~32-volt operations, and DB9SUB, Circular, & Gland Cable connectivity, the SG33BLT Actuator Series is sure to have a solution for your needs. #UAV #UAS #UAM #UGV #UUV #USV

Hydraulic top bracing is an attenuation device installed between the main engine and the hull of the ship to reduce thermal expansion and vibration from the main engine to natural frequencies. The operating principle is an automatic control operating system through in/out and on/off the operating range of the hydraulic top bracing according to the rpm of the main engine. The number of hydraulic cylinders per engine is typically 2, 4, 6 depending on the type of engine, up to 8 are installed if necessary, and 1~2 of control panels are installed.
