Delcam UK wins AS/EN9100 accreditation

The approval covers the modelling, reverse engineering and machining facilities offered by the company’s in-house toolroom, plus the installation, training and support services provided to its CADCAM software customers. “Although smaller than our software business, the Tooling Services Division still turns over around £1 million annually,” underlines division director Brian Hawkshaw. “While we operate as an independent profit centre, the main benefit is the ability to test our software in circumstances similar to our customers, on real jobs with real deadlines. “We added a Huron KX200 machine, fitted with the Siemens 840D control, last year for large-scale 5-axis machining. Since then, we have worked with both Siemens and Huron to increase our expertise in continuous 5-axis operation, especially for aerospace applications where the Siemens control is widely used. This close collaboration has helped us to reach the high standards needed for our successful accreditation.”
