Using machine tool probes to check the part position and adjust parameters while the part is on the machine tool can reduce material wastage significantly to increase overall productivity. Measurements can be made between each step of the machining program as required, bringing landing gear beam and strut manufacturers closer to producing parts right first time.
Hexagon provides machine-tool probes and specialised on-machine measurement software that enable aircraft landing gear manufacturers to automate the alignment of blanks for landing gear struts and beams. They also enable measurement and control of the tooling process while the workpiece is clamped to the machine to ensure minimal scrap.
